The legacy of General Nathan Bedford Forrest is deeply divisive. Best known for being accused of war crimes at the Battle of Fort Pillow and for his role as first grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan - an organization he later denounced - Forrest has often been studied as a military figure, but never before studied as a fascinating individual who wrestled with the complex issues of his violent times. Bust Hell Wide Open is a comprehensive portrait of Nathan Bedford Forrest as a man: his achievements, failings, reflections, and regrets.

Enlightenment for the reader
Revisado: 04-18-18
This book delivers a eye opening and a much needed clear view of a man that so many falsehoods have been written and spoken by those who had no idea of the history of the man and the civil war. I have always admired the man as a hero of the South but had no idea of the many particulars of his deeds and feats that he performed In The service of his country and convictions of his person . I will read this book Again after this has sank in my grey matter and I’m confident that I will enjoy it as much if not more the second reading as the first . I urge anyone even slightly curious about the civil war and the man to read this book . You will come away with a great respect and admiration for Nathan Bedford Forrest and clearer picture of the post war South .

Young Bradon McTavish watches the bluecoats brutally hang his father and destroy everything he's known, and he escapes their wrath into the gun smoke and blood of war. Captured and paroled, only if he'll head west of the war, he rides the river into the wilds of the new territory of Montana where savages and grizzlies await. He discovers new friends and old enemies, and a woman formerly forbidden to him.

Enjoyable listen
Revisado: 04-05-17
Would you consider the audio edition of West of the War to be better than the print version?
I enjoy reading a good story better than listening but with my limited time for reading ,listening while driving is very enjoyable.
What was one of the most memorable moments of West of the War?
The Historical accuracy about the civil war prison camp impressed me.Did enjoy the Union redheaded Lt getting shot with buckshot.
Which character – as performed by Bob Rundell – was your favorite?
Young MacTavish
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When the Union hanged his father was a moving and touching moment.When the author described the condition of the hanging body of his father was moving.
Any additional comments?
I did not like the authors choice of racial mixing the characters.I think this was thrown in much like the way commercials display racial mixed couples in almost every commercial shown on television today. That seems to be the popular agenda today but Historically that would not have happened as portrayed.That would be the only negative for me that I found with the story.
