Books by Thomas Lawrence Connelly

Most of the Civil War was fought on Southern soil. The responsibility for defending the Confederacy rested with two great military forces. One of these armies defended the "heartland" of the Confederacy - a vital area which embraced Tennessee and portions of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Kentucky. This is the story of that army.

The final volume of Thomas Lawrence Connelly's definitive history of one of the Confederacy's two major military forces, Connelly analyses the factors underlying the army's failure during the last two years of the Civil War.

More than a century after Appomattox, the Civil War and the idea of the "Lost Cause" remain at the center of the southern mind. God and General Longstreet traces the persistence and the transformation of the Lost Cause from the first generation of former Confederates to more recent times.
