Unsurpassed since their publication fifty years ago, Ezra J. Warner’s Generals in Blue and Generals in Gray provide a complete guide to the military leadership of both the North and the South and remain the most exhaustive and celebrated work on the Civil War’s generals. In commemoration of the sesquicentennial of the American Civil War, Warner’s magnum opus, featuring concise, detailed biographical sketches and photographs of all 425 Confederate and 583 Union generals, is available, for the first time, as a hardcover boxed set of both volumes. Through tireless research and captivating detail, Warner provides fascinating insight into these commanders, well known and obscure, from the legendary Union general George Custer to the youngest brigadier in the Confederate Army, William Paul Roberts, only nineteen years of age in 1861. Hailed by scholars and critics as two of the most indispensable books on the American Civil War, Warner’s work offers the only comprehensive reference of the men who led over three million soldiers in the most divisive and bloodiest war in American history.

When Generals in Gray was published in 1959, scholars and critics immediately hailed it as one of the few indispensable books on the American Civil War. Historian Stanley Horn, for example, wrote, "It is difficult for a reviewer to restrain his enthusiasm in recommending a monumental book of this high quality and value." Here at last is the paperback edition of Ezra J. Warner's magnum opus with its concise, detailed biographical sketches and -- in an amazing feat of research -- photographs of all 425 Confederate generals. The only exhaustive guide to the South's command, Generals in Gray belongs on the shelf of anyone interested in the Civil War.

Cadmus Marcellus Wilcox started off his military career as a promising young West Point cadet and proved himself in battle with service as an officer in the Mexican War. But when the South seceded in 1861, Wilcox, along with 305 other West Point graduates, sided with the Confederacy. Aside from the historical perspective his life provides, a closer analysis reveals Wilcox as a man whose life, like those of many of his colleagues, was forever altered by the Civil War. Author Gerard Patterson brings his little-known subject to life in this fascinating biography.
