Many studies of the American Civil War focus on battlefield strategies and the men who executed them, but relatively few consider the overall military strategies of either side. This study describes the Confederate command system in the Western theatre of the war in 1862 and 1863. In describing the origin and development of the Confederate command system in the West, Jones explains in detail the roles played by Jefferson Davis, by Secretaries of War George Randolph and James Seddon, and by General Joseph Johnston, Commander of the Department of the West and Davis' sometime adversary.
