Next just happened to me.
Ploughshares into Swords, which could be subtitled, The Life and Times of Josiah Gorgas, by Frank Vandevire, provides the reader with what one man, Chief of Ordnance for the CS, and his many-membered subordinates, did to keep weapons and ammo in the hands of CS troops during the entire war at the Bureau of Ordnance and its many ordnance offices. I can't imagine another book that does the same. It also includes the concerns of a husband and father for the welfare of his large family. Reaches backwards and forwards into Gorgas's life before and after the war. Gorgas was a behind-the-scenes hero for a lost cause.
