Overview

""Powerfully written, this no-holds-barred criticism of Lee the general will shake long-held perceptions of historians and buffs. Like this book or not, it is must reading.""-John F. Marszalek, author of Sherman: A Soldier's Passion for Order ""Well researched ...undoubtedly will reopen a number of old debates with refreshingly new material ...a worthy read.""-The Washington Times This revisionist view from a prizewinning historian demonstrates that while Robert E. Lee may have displayed tactical brilliance in the defensive mode, when he took his troops on the offensive all of his campaigns met with disaster. Lee Moves North reexamines three unsuccessful campaigns: Sharpsburg/Antietam, Gettysburg, and Bristoe Station. Michael A. Palmer (Greenville, NC) is an associate professor of history at East Carolina University. He is also the author of Stoddert's War.
