SIDELIGHTS: Noted psychology instructor James G. Hollandsworth, Jr., is an avid historian as well as an educator. In his book Pretense of Glory: The Life of General Nathaniel P. Banks, Hollandsworth examines the life of this important Civil War military and political figure. Steven E. Woodworth, writing in Historian, commented that "Hollandsworth provides a thorough, balanced, and informative account of the general-politician's life, bringing into vivid light both the admirable and the deplorable elements in Bank's career." James Smallwood, writing in Civil War History, further stated, "Hollandsworth has produced a valuable volume in which he presents Banks as a man obsessed with 'pretense of glory,' a trait that prevented him from achieving the reality of glory. Historians interested in the Civil War era and political history should examine this book." And Booklist reviewer Roland Green added, "Hollandsworth's inspection of [Banks] should prove useful to most Civil War collections."

Another biographical work by Hollandsworth is An Absolute Massacre: The New Orleans Race Riot of July 30, 1866. Gilbert Taylor, writing in Booklist, observed: "Hollandsworth weaves [action] into a narrative of events shocking in themselves and made more so by the author's objective, detached manner."
