People Of Distinction

A Traitor to His Family, A Hero to His Country

Episode Description from the Publisher

He never lost a battle, was mourned by 10,000 people including a sitting U.S. president and today, almost no one knows his name. In this episode, author David Stinebeck joins us to unpack the deliberately buried story of Civil War General George Henry Thomas, a Virginian who chose the Union over his own family, and whose extraordinary leadership was systematically erased by the very men who feared his legacy. This isn't just a history lesson, it's a mirror held up to the fractured moment we're living in right now, and a powerful reminder that the people brave enough to stand in the middle are often the first ones forgotten. Grab your copy of A Civil General on Amazon or Barnes & Noble and discover the leader America needs to remember.
