Download General Lee's Army: From Victory to Collapse AudioBook Free
This sweeping record of the Civil War and the Confederacy is informed through the zoom lens of its most crucial army, the Military of North Virginia commanded by Robert E. Lee. General Lee's Army takes readers over the Rebel landscape, from campfires to battlefields with their homes, as it portrays a world of life, death, healing, and hardship. Detailing the feelings and conduct of officers and enlisted men throughout the course of the war, it demonstrates how effectively Lee's men served their country and just how close the South came to winning the great war between the states -- and why it eventually lost. Glatthaar investigates the South's commitment to the war and its own gradual erosion, and he analyzes Lee's army in triumph and defeat. Fourteen years in the making, this scholarly tour-de-force upends a lot of the traditional wisdom about the Civil War.
