LEE'S LAST CAMPAIGN PA

By May 1864, General Robert E. Lee had been transformed from a young soldier into a gray-haired patriarch of the Confederate cause. As Lee struggled to keep his ragged soldiers alive, he faced pressure from two fronts. Grant'¬"s Union Army not only had superior numbers, but a steadfast infrastructure or railroads and industrialized supply routes. Lee'¬"s Last Campaign is a triumph of historic research and elegant writing. In this essential analysis of General Lee'¬"s military strategy, Dowdey follows the triumphs and tragedies of the Army of Northern Virginia as it breathed its last gasps at the end of the Civil War.
