{"product_id":"the-military-memoirs-of-general-john-pope","title":"The Military Memoirs of General John Pope","description":"Union general John Pope was among the most controversial and\u003cbr\u003emisunderstood figures to hold major command during the Civil War.\u003cbr\u003eBefore being called east in June 1862 to lead the Army of Virginia against General Robert E. Lee, he compiled an enviable record in Missouri and as commander of the Army of the Mississippi. After his ignominious defeat at the Second Battle of Bull Run, he was sent to the frontier. Over the next twenty-four years Pope held important department commands on the western plains and was recognized as one of the army's leading  authorities on Indian affairs, but he never again commanded troops in battle.\u003cbr\u003eIn 1886, Pope was engaged by the \u003ci\u003eNational Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e, a\u003cbr\u003eweekly newspaper published in Washington, D.C., to write a series\u003cbr\u003eof articles on his wartime experiences. Over the next five years, in twenty-nine installments, he wrote about the war as he had lived it. Collected here for the first time, Pope's \"war reminiscences\" join a select roster of memoirs written by Civil War army commanders.\u003cbr\u003ePope presents a detailed review of the campaigns in which he\u003cbr\u003eparticipated and offers vivid character sketches of such illustrious figures as Abraham Lincoln and Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton. Clearly written and balanced in tone, his memoirs are a dramatic and important addition to the literature on the Civil War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally published in 1998.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA UNC Press Enduring Edition - UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.
