Deep in the winter of 1862, on the border between Kentucky and Tennessee, two extraordinary military leaders faced each other in an epic clash that would transform them both and change the course of American history forever.
Brigadier General Ulysses S. Grant had no significant military successes to his credit at the outset of the campaign. He was barely clinging to his position within the Union Army—he had been officially charged with chronic drunkenness only days earlier, and his own troops despised him. His opponent was as untested as he was: an obscure lieutenant colonel named Nathan Bedford Forrest. The two men held one thing in common: an unrelenting desire for victory at any cost.

A riveting account of the making of two great military leaders, and two battles that transformed America forever, Men of Fire is destined to become a classic work of military history.

Книга Jack Hurst – Men of Fire. Campaign that decided the Civil War рассказывает о ключевой военной кампании Гражданской войны в США, которая во многом определила её исход. Автор подробно разбирает события, связанные с фортом Донельсон и битвой при Шайло, где генерал Улисс Грант впервые проявил себя как выдающийся полководец.

Хёрст показывает, как сражения в долине реки Теннесси весной 1862 года сломали планы Конфедерации на быстрый успех на Западе, открыли путь федеральным войскам к Миссисипи и изменили стратегическую карту войны. Книга опирается на документы, письма участников и анализ тактических решений обеих сторон.
