Focusing on the Fort Pillow massacre, Richard Fuchs delves into this controversial Civil War event where a Confederate cavalry, led by Nathan Bedford Forrest, attacked a Union fort primarily held by African-American troops. The book explores the social context and Forrest's complex personality, portraying him as both an influential figure prior to the incident and a passive participant during the massacre. Fuchs aims to shed light on the motivations and implications of this tragic episode in American history.
