Lee's Lieutenants

Douglas Southall Freeman's *Lee's Lieutenants: A Study in Command* is a sweeping multi-biography of the key commanders under Robert E. Lee in the Army of Northern Virginia during the American Civil War. This narrative traces the development of figures such as Jackson, Longstreet, and Ewell, from their hard-won victories through the costly battle of Gettysburg, to the final collapse and surrender in 1865. Freeman provides unparalleled descriptions of men and operations, coupled with insightful analysis of military lessons. A one-volume abridgement by Stephen W. Sears makes this classic essential reading for Civil War enthusiasts and students of military history.
