"Not actually reading this particular edition. I have a copy of the 1946 edition, in the original slipcase from my father's library. It is fascinating, although the language is a little formal, its a good read. What's sort of interesting is that when this book was written in 1936 the Civil War had ended only 71 years prior. About the same amount of time has passed since the book was written. Still very contemporary, but it does say something about the perspective my Dad had on the Civil War, somewhat similar I guess to my take on WW2."
"A good review of the battles of the Civil War from the subordinates of General Lee. It explains in great detail the Southern movements before and during the battles. Shows the difficulty of coordination."
"This is just about the best Civil War book, actually three books, written. It looks at the key generals immediately under Lee's command: how they succeeded and how they failed. The book more or less follows the campaigns of the eastern theater chronologically."
