Summary
Glorious War chronicles George Armstrong Custer's Civil War career, from his graduation from West Point in 1861 through his rise to become the youngest general in the Union Army. Thom Hatch examines Custer's daring cavalry tactics, his role in major battles including Gettysburg and the Shenandoah Valley Campaign, and his controversial leadership style. The book explores how Custer's boldness and ambition earned him both acclaim and criticism during the war, providing insight into the military experiences that shaped the legendary but polarizing figure before his famous last stand at Little Bighorn.
