"Marion B. Lucas sifts through official reports, newspapers, and eyewitness accounts, and the evidence he amasses debunks many of the myths surrounding the tragedy. Lucas tells a more complex and more human story that details the fear, confusion, and disorder that accompanied the end of a brutal war. Lucas traces the damage not to a single blaze but to a series of fires--preceded by an equally unfortunate series of military and civilian blunders--that included the burning of cotton bales by fleeing Confederate soldiers"--Back cover.
