Rebel Yell by S.C. Gwynne
The Violence, Passion, and Redemption of Stonewall Jackson
A vivid biography that traces the life of Confederate general Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson, exploring his meteoric rise from humble beginnings and West Point training to his tactical brilliance in the Civil War, especially the Shenandoah Valley Campaign, and his devout yet volatile personality; the book probes the contradictions of his faith, fierce discipline, and capacity for violence, situating his military exploits and accidental death at Chancellorsville within the broader social and political currents of 19th-century America.
