Description

Building upon his noted work within the award-winning Last Chance for Victory: Robert E. Lee and the Gettysburg Campaign, Scott Bowden has now undertaken probably the most in-depth and exhaustive study of Robert E. Lee’s generalship.

Robert E. Lee at War presents a fresh and compelling portrait of the real warrior that may be sure to remove darkness from his legacy for generations to come. By mining fresh sources, and in adhering to a rigorous historical methodology, Bowden’s account of General Lee emerges to be as important as it’s original. The story of Lee’s decision-making is laid before the reader, and his relationship with his key lieutenants, at the side of the complicated and strained relationship with Confederate President Jefferson Davis, appears in fresh, new light.

Never before addressed topics include a complete analysis of Lee’s art of war. Also, and for the first time, Bowden explains in great detail Lee’s ongoing efforts to craft and reorganize the army he inherited from Joe Johnston-a force unevenly led and inefficiently organized-into a up to date and fierce fighting machine referred to as the Army of Northern Virginia.
