{"product_id":"more-generals-in-gray","title":"More Generals in Gray","description":"In this masterpiece of research, a splendid supplement to Ezra J. Warner's \u003cem\u003eGenerals in Gray\u003c\/em\u003e, Bruce S. Allardice brings to light a neglected class of officers: the Confederacy's \"\"other\"\" generals -- men who attained their rank outside the usual avenue of appointment by President Jefferson Davis and who had been virtually forgotten as a consequence. Explaining that the process of becoming a general was fraught with politics, lobbying, intrigue, accident, mismanagement, and chance, Allardice identifies six main categories of legitimate claimants to the rank of Confederate General -- two more than historians have traditionally recognized. He presents a substantial biographical sketch of 137 generals not found in Warner's original and a short bibliography of each. For the vast majority, his is the first treatment ever published.","brand":"Louisiana State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55807611896152,"sku":"9780807131480","price":39.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780807131480_e42003cd-796b-4a9a-9bdc-30ec89690876.jpg?v=1781725520","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/more-generals-in-gray","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
