The article is a direct copy and paste from your publisher Savas Beatie announcing your award. <br /><br />At this point I have not read your book and my article title was in no means a knock against your work. I stand by my word though that when the book was published it did generate a large buzz. Personally, I think that is a good thing and helped draw people to your book and allowed John Bell Hood to be reexamined by many. <br /><br />Congratulations on winning the Albert Castel Book Award. May it be the first of many that recognize your work!Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16491729154851570270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764184332425626249.post-62926667444597455372014-05-24T11:55:04.978-07:002014-05-24T11:55:04.978-07:00Sir,

You describe my book as "Controversial" yet the article provides no specific examples of any controversial content. The book is indeed a critical expose' of the historiography and literature of John Bell Hood, but all of my factual assertions are supported by over 1,000 footnotes, most of which are primary sources. Despite being released over nine months ago, I have yet to receive any denials or objections from any of the numerous historians whom I cite; in fact, none have even engaged me in debate in defense of their portrayals of Hood.<br /><br />Respectfully,<br /><br />Stephen M.
