Focusing on the operational challenges faced by Confederate railroads during the American Civil War, this book investigates their impact on the Confederacy's defeat. It critiques early twentieth-century historians' views by exploring how government actions exacerbated these issues. Unlike the North, which effectively managed its railroads, the South's lack of engagement with this crucial wartime resource hindered their effectiveness. The research reveals a direct relationship between operational failures and government mismanagement, arguing that these factors significantly contributed to the South's downfall.
