Wiley Sword examines the final major campaign of the Confederate Army of Tennessee in The Confederacy Last Hurrah: Spring Hill, Franklin, and Nashville, a work of Civil War military history focused on the late 1864 Tennessee campaign. The book follows General John Bell Hood after the fall of Atlanta as he leads a damaged Confederate force northward in an attempt to alter the strategic situation in the Western Theater. Sword concentrates on three linked events: the missed Confederate opportunity at Spring Hill, the devastating assault at Franklin, and the collapse at Nashville. Rather than treating these battles as isolated episodes, he presents them as a connected sequence of command decisions, battlefield confusion, logistical strain, and political pressure. The purpose of the book is not only to narrate military operations but also to explain how flawed leadership and operational misjudgment helped destroy one of the Confederacy major remaining armies.
