He was a fierce and controversial Civil War officer, an unschooled but brilliant cavalryman, an epic figure in America's most celebrated war. A superb tactician and ferocious fighter, Nathan Bedford Forrest revolutionized the way armies fought in the course of rising from private to lieutenant general in the Confederate Army.

In this detailed and fascinating account of the legend of the "Wizard of the Saddle," we see a man whose strengths and flaws were both of towering proportions, a man possessed of physical valor perhaps unprecedented among his countrymen. And, ironically, Forrest - the first grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan - was a man whose social attitudes may well have changed farther in the direction of racial enlightenment over the span of his lifetime than those of most American historical figures.

This is the best, most detailed recording of the militaries greated general. Unbelievable military genious. Reading this books almost allows you to ride along with Forrest as he wages war for his country. Love it.

Best Forrest book I've read!

I read this immediately after finishing a more laudatory biography of NBF, and it’s provided the more balanced view I was looking for. The does not attempt to deify or vilify the subject, and pays a much needed dose of attention to the post war years. 9/10 would highly recommend, my only criticism is that the author doesn’t do as good of a job explaining battles as the aforementioned pro-Forrest biography.

A balanced biography

As with most Civil War biographies, the majority of the text is spent recounting Forrest’s exploits during war. I was pleased with the amount of context added during the pre and postwar years, and I learned much that was previously unknown to me. The author highlights and showcases both Forrest’s strengths, weakness, and the impact his decisions and exploits fairly. He always presented both the positive and negative views of Forrest from other figures (mostly from that time) simultaneously and objectively. It was an enjoyable listen and I plan to purchase a physical copy for rereading in the future.

Pretty objective, overall solid biography
