Lee took command of the Army of Northern Virginia on June 1, 1862, until the Battle of Gettysburg thirteen months later, the Confederate army compiled a record of military achievement almost unparalleled in our nation's history. How it happened--the relative contributions of Lee, his top command, opposing Union generals, and of course the rebel army itself--is the subject of Civil War historian Jeffry D. Wert's fascinating new history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWert shows how the audacity and aggression that fueled Lee's victories ultimately proved disastrous at Gettysburg. But, as Wert explains, Lee had little choice: outnumbered by an opponent with superior resources, he had to take the fight to the enemy in order to win. When an equally combative Union general--Ulysses S. Grant--took command of northern forces in 1864, Lee was defeated. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Glorious Army \u003c\/i\u003edraws on the latest scholarship to provide fresh assessments of Lee; his top commanders Longstreet, Jackson, and Stuart; and a shrewd battle strategy that still offers lessons to military commanders today.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45145278021783,"sku":"9781416593355","price":2073.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781416593355.webp?v=1767655742","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-glorious-army-robert-e-lees-triumph-1862-1863-9781416593355","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
