The Confederacy's Last Hurrah: Spring Hill, Franklin, and NashvilleFollowing the fall of Atlanta, rebel commander John Bell Hood rallied his demoralized troops and marched them off the Tennessee, desperately hoping to draw Sherman after him and forestall the Confederacy's defeat. But Sherman refused to be lured and began his infamous "March to the Sea," while Hood charged headlong into catastrophe. In this compelling dramatic account of a final and fatal invasion by the Confederate Army of Tennessee, Wile Sword

Following the fall of Atlanta, rebel commander John Bell Hood rallied his demoralized troops and marched them off the Tennessee, desperately hoping to draw Sherman after him and forestall the Confederacy's defeat. But Sherman refused to be lured and began his infamous "March to the Sea," while Hood charged headlong into catastrophe.

In this compelling dramatic account of a final and fatal invasion by the Confederate Army of Tennessee, Wile Sword illuminates the missed opportunities, senseless bloody assaults, poor command decisions, and stubborn pride that resulted in 23,500 Confederate losses--including 7,00 casualties in one battle--and the pulverization of the South's second largest army.

Sword follows Hood and his army as they let an early advantage and possible victory slip away at Spring Hill, then engage in a reckless and ill-fated frontal attack on Franklin, often called the "Gettysburg of the West." Despite that disaster, Hood refuses to yield and presses on the Nashville and a two-day bloodbath that unhinges what is left of his battered troops--the worst defeat suffered by any army during the war.

Telling the story from both the Confederate and the Union perspectives, Sword pursues personalities as well as battles and troop strategy. He portrays Hood as a gutsy yet irresponsible leader--"a fool with a license to kill his own men"--whose valiant but rapidly dwindling troops were no match for the methodical General George G. Thomas and his better prepared--and entrenched--Union army. Hood, however, was not entirely to blame for Confederate failures, says Sword, who shows how decision making and actions--both good and bad, logical and chaotic--by key players on both sides helped determine the battles' outcomes.

Pretty Tunic Top
Color: Willowfloral, Size: X-Large
Very happy with this tunic top! Long enough for me to feel good about wearing it with leggings, but not SO long it feels like a dress. Really good V-neck, not just a little notch at the top that some brands call a v-neck. I ordered the teal floral XL and was very happy with the fit and drape. I'm a size 18W with a 42D bust and a chubby waistline. I often end up in XXL or 1X tops, but this fit well as an XL. Nice feel to the material and a bargain at the price!

Very flattering in my opinion
I'm 5'6 and no hips, so I really liked that the length is a little longer and flares a little at the hips giving my chunky but not curvy figure some illusion of a girlish figure. The pattern and colors were pretty & I'd say pretty close to the ad. Great blues and a coral/peach ... not sure my camera did it justice. I like the pleat at the back ... I feel that it minimizes the bra bulge that can happen at times. I stepped out after try on and my guy said it looked great (he's a truth teller with clothes) so that made me feel better because sometimes I see what I want to see at first & later see the flaws. I do see the case instructions ... getting used to hang to dry all things lately. Feels a little more nylon-ish but not bad. Its not super thin and light where I think it's a clingy thing. Really do like this shirt

Nice, but not great fabric quality
Color: Floral Black, Size: Large
The fit was great. Colors were as shown. The fabric shows signs of wear pretty much on the second wear so durability isn’t great. The fabric is soft and light weight so perfect for spring and fall. Not sure I’d buy again as I think it will look worn out quickly.

Very Straightforward and Easy to Use
Reload type: One Time Reload
I have used this several times, and it has always been a smooth and convenient experience. The biggest advantage is how intuitive the process is. Reloading the balance is simple, quick, and easy to understand without unnecessary steps or confusion. It is especially useful for managing spending, setting a shopping budget, or keeping funds ready for future purchases. Instead of entering payment details every time, having balance available makes checkout faster and more convenient. I also appreciate how quickly the funds are applied, allowing immediate use once the reload is completed. This is one of those simple Amazon features that works exactly the way it should. Overall, easy, efficient, and user-friendly. I have been very satisfied with it. Five stars.

“ incredibly convenient”
Reload type: One Time Reload
I recently used the Amazon.com Gift Card Balance Reload option, and I’m thoroughly satisfied with the process and the overall experience. Here’s my detailed review: Convenience The Gift Card Balance Reload feature is incredibly convenient for anyone who shops frequently on Amazon. It allows me to add funds directly to my Amazon account without having to go through the process of entering credit card information every time I make a purchase. This is perfect for those who prefer to manage their shopping budget by preloading funds to their account. It saves me time and makes the checkout process smoother. Ease of Use Reloading my gift card balance was quick and easy. All I had to do was go to my Amazon account, select the “Reload Your Balance” option, and choose the amount I wanted to add. The process is simple and user-friendly, with clear instructions. You can choose to set it as a one-time reload or opt for an automatic reload at regular intervals, which is an excellent feature for those who want to stay on top of their shopping without worrying about running out of funds. Reloading Options One of the best aspects of this feature is the flexibility in reloading amounts. I can reload any amount I choose, whether it’s a small amount to cover a single purchase or a larger amount for future shopping. There’s also the option to set up an auto-reload, so my balance is automatically replenished when it drops below a certain threshold. This is particularly helpful for frequent Amazon shoppers, as it ensures there’s always enough funds available without having to manually reload every time. Processing Time Reloading my balance was instantaneous, and I was able to make purchases immediately after adding funds. The money is applied to my Amazon account almost immediately, so there’s no waiting around for it to process. This makes it ideal for urgent purchases or spontaneous shopping. Security The Gift Card Balance Reload option is secure, and I have peace of mind knowing that my payment information is kept safe through Amazon’s encrypted systems. I don’t have to worry about storing credit card information for each transaction, and the reload process is secure and straightforward. I also appreciate that I get an email confirmation every time my balance is reloaded, providing an extra layer of security and transparency. Value for Money The Gift Card Balance Reload is a great option for managing your Amazon shopping budget. It doesn’t come with any additional fees or hidden costs, and I get exactly what I pay for. Plus, I can take advantage of any promotions or bonuses Amazon may offer for gift card reloads (e.g., occasional bonus offers or discounts). The ability to add funds as needed without being locked into a set amount of money is very useful and cost-effective. Overall Impression I’m highly satisfied with the Amazon.com Gift Card Balance Reload service. It’s a fast, easy, and secure way to manage your shopping budget and ensure that you never run out of funds on Amazon. The process is simple, and I love the flexibility in choosing how much to reload, as well as the option for automatic reloading. For anyone who frequently shops on Amazon or wants to manage their spending more effectively, this is a great tool to have. I will definitely continue using this feature to make my Amazon purchases even more efficient and hassle-free.
