Benson Bobrick talked about his book Master of War: The Life of General George H. Thomas (Simon and Schuster; February 10, 2009). In his book he recounts the military career of Union General George H. Thomas, known as the “The Rock of Chickamauga,” who the author argues was the most successful general during the Civil War.

Mr. Bobrick contends that Union Generals Ulysses S. Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman minimized General Thomas' efforts to inflate their own. He responded to questions from members of the audience.

This event was hosted by The Civil War Round Table of New York at 3 West Club in New York City. close
