PROMPT: After reading Chapter 2 in Hanson, discuss the effects of combat trauma on the leadership of Union General Sherman and Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest.

Who then should have been ultimately responsible for these officers’ post-Shiloh performance of duties and is this a microcosm of military cultures not addressing the seriousness of psychological trauma?
