Great insight to the ANV

Great insight to the men who led the army of northern Virginia. These recollections help us to understand some of the decisions that were made during the campaigns.

Beautiful Retelling of History

This was a beautiful and articulate retelling of history. Being a scholar of the American Civil War and such, I enjoyed it very much.

A Must For Anyone Interested In The Civil War.

This recollection of General Sorrel is a must read for Confederate history. It isn't a battle by battle description, but a free flowing description of the interesting people and the behind the scene stories of the war. This has been one of my favorite reads among hundreds of Civil War books.

Listen to the stories from the side that lost

Very good reflections and seemingly honest apprasial
Harry Truman indicated you learn much more from listening to the losers of conflicts

Win or Learn.
