Hess (Ph.D., Purdue University, 1986) is a leading author of military histories of the Civil War. After terms at the University of Georgia, Texas Tech University, and the University of Arkansas, he settled at Lincoln Memorial University, in Harrogate, Tenn., in 1989, where he holds the Stewart McClelland Chair. Hess has published nearly twenty books and more than 120 journal articles and academic reviews. Dr. Hess's books offer new insights on Civil War battles and campaigns, and also focus on thematic topics such as the use of weapons, tactics, and transportation in the Civil War. He has been called "the premier military historian of the Civil War" and his work has garnered praise for its "combination of adroit writing, high intelligence, and well-reasoned but unabashed judgments". Readers will find that his books offer perspectives on both the Union and Confederate experience, and also reveal the driving motivations of combat soldiers, whether serving under Grant or Lee. Civil War Infantry Tactics won the Tom Watson Brown Book Award, Society of Civil War Historians, 2016 and was a Finalist for the Lincoln Prize, 2016. More
