This book depicts the incompentence and corruption of Union occupation in Tennessee, the horrors of guerrilla warfare, the legacy of slavery, and the pent-up bigotry and rage that found its release at Fort Pillow. In the book, the author brings to life the garrison's black soliders and thier ambivalent white comrades, and the former slave trader Nathan Bedord Forrest and his ferocious cavlary.
