“So the great and carefully planned offensive with all its high hopes for a quick victory fizzled out, and a beaten army went back to report to the infuriated ‘Führer.’ … In a towering rage, ‘exceedingly wroth … he did curse God, and also Moroni, swearing with an oath that he would drink his blood.’ (Alma 49:27.) At every step in his career he had found that man Moroni barring the way; at every step in the campaign his own army had played into the hands of that Moroni. No wonder Moroni began to be an obsession with him” (Nibley, Since Cumorah, 309).
