America's Worst General

Who was the worst American army general of all time? We round off our month of military history by looking at the leaders who standout for all the wrong reasons. Don's guest is the wonderful Cecily Zander author of the upcoming 'Abraham Lincoln and the American West', and 'The Army Under Fire: Antimilitarism in the Civil War Era'.

Edited by Aidan Lonergan, produced by Sophie Gee. Senior Producer was Freddy Chick.
