Stories of adventure and danger behind enemy lines Describes the tactics pioneered by three masters of irregular warfare Noted Ranger historian Robert W. Black turns his attention to a trio of the Confederacys--and Americas--most infamous raiders and cavalrymen: John Singleton Mosby, John Hunt Morgan, and Nathan Bedford Forrest. Combining speed, mobility, and boldness, these three soldiers struck critical blows against the Union during the Civil War, including Morgans notorious 1863 raid that penetrated farther north than any other uniformed Confederate force. While not overlooking their flaws, Black believes these men revolutionized warfare and sees them as forerunners of the Rangers and Special Forces of the modern era.
