About this title: In the first major biography of the Civil War general in more than 30 years, Farwell reveals a quirky, obsessive, dark personality radically different from the storybook version. The author's lively narrative is balanced by meticulous research on every battle and facet of Jackson's life, resulting in an honest, often unflattering yet sympathetic portrait. Photographs and maps.

"Jackson does not fit the stereotype of the aristocratic confederate general.
Jackson was from Appalachian Virginia, the part that seceded and became West Virginia. True to his roots he was a man of simple tastes, few words, devout faith, and a stoic tempersment.
He taught chemistry at VMI, where he was known as the most absent-minded and boring of all professors.
Although he was a mediocrity in peacetime, war brought out his genius in tactics, logisti0cs and motivation. More than a Southern icon, hius value to military science is universal. Jackson's model of generalship has been emulated by Rommel, Patton, and many other disciples.
Jackson was a great believer in pursuing a beaten foe, and he was a master of the fighting retreat."
