This is a detailed summary of the book by James M. McPherson "Embattled Rebel." Watching this video is similar to having read the book yourself -- to some extent. Some alternative titles to this video could be: "Mistakes Made by Jefferson Davis and His Generals," "The Civil War Timeline from the Perspective of the South Command."
