Lee and His Army in Confederate History (Civil War America)
Editorial Reviews
New York Review of Books
"Better than any other historian of the Confederacy, Gallagher understands the importance of . . . contingent turning points."
Review
A wonderful blend of traditional and the 'new' military history, a balance from the perspective of high command, the soldiers, the home front, and their collective memory. By anyone's standards, this is a terrific book. (Joseph T. Glatthaar, University of Houston)
Drawing on massive primary evidence, Gallagher has limned attitudes toward Lee and his army from a wide spectrum of Confederate society. The result is a formidable, definitive delineation of the subject. (Robert K. Krick, author of Lee's Colonels and Stonewall Jackson at Cedar Mountai)
In these essays Gary Gallagher once again demonstrates the mastery of sources, elegance of style, and lucidity of explanation and interpretation that have made him the foremost historian of the Army of Northern Virginia. (James M. McPherson, Princeton University)
