As Gen. Joseph E. Johnston continued to retreat farther south, consistently outflanked by Gen. William T. Sherman?s divisions, Confederate president Jefferson Davis grew increasingly restless and replaced Johnston with Gen. John Bell Hood, hoping the more aggressive Hood would stem Sherman?s advance. On September 2, 1864, Hood?s armies were besieged at Atlanta and eventually defeated, clearing the way for Sherman?s devastating March to the Sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDecisions of the Atlanta Campaign\u003c\/i\u003e introduces readers to critical decisions made by Confederate and Union commanders throughout that tide-turning summer of 1864.
