Description

In this companion volume to Unconditional Surrender: U.S. Grant and the Civil War, noted historian Albert Marrin tells the other side of the story. This riveting story of Conderate General Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia tells of campaigns and shows why, in the end, Lee was as great in defeat as he had been in victory. 52 photos.

Definitely the best-written book in my history course so far.

Robert E. Lee has now made my list of favorite historical figures, along with several other Civil War fellows. But all in all, this book made me incredibly sorry for the North, who seemed to get stuck with some very awful generals.
