The Confederacy's Fighting Chaplain is the story of the Irishman who brought the Bible and his own resourcefulness and daring to both the battlefield and the diplomatic field - a story that has been largely ignored for more than 130 years. The biography of John B. Bannon also chronicles the forgotten Southerners - the Irish immigrants of the Confederacy whose colourful and crucial role in the Civil War has been seriously neglected.
