Default The Glass Ceiling of Command

I think D. H. Hill, despite his skills, was one who would question the actions of Lee himself. I recall his analysis of Malvern Hill was it was not war, it was murder.

There were a few Confederate generals who hit the glass ceiling of command, because of reasons other than military aptitude.
