This sweeping history of the Civil War and the Confederacy is told through the lens of its most crucial army: the Army of Northern Virginia, commanded by Robert E. Lee. General Lee's Army takes listeners across the Rebel landscape, from campfires to battlefields to their homes, as it portrays a world of life, death, healing, and hardship.

Revisado: 08-08-08
This book was a BIG MISS. It is a disservice to Lee and his staff's genius and mistakes. It also grossly misrepresents the metal and courage of the common soldier on both sides. If you have read anything about the civil war u will be very disappointed. It puts the confederate army on a mystical pedestal while ignoring military axioms like the impact of a flank attack, the value of good ground, west point officers vs politically appointed officers and the impact of assaulting a fortified position. It ignores the fact that the charge at Fredericksburg was no different than Picketts charge and that 2 to 1 ratio of attacker to defender wasn't enough to take the position no matter how "mythically fantastic" the soldier. The statistics in the book draw incorrect conclusions...if u have ever taken a stats class in your life you will be scratching your head at his conclusions. Don't waste your time...
