tarmstrong112's review against another edition
4.0
This was an interesting book on the Army of Northern Virginia. I found the chapters on desertion, why men deserted and the consequences/attempts to stop it to be the most fascinating part of the book interestingly enough. I think the title could have been better. Lee is of course the most famous commander of this army, but he doesn't appear in the book until you are roughly a quarter of the way into it.
Overall it was interesting. I am more interested in the various Union Armies and their histories, but this book was engaging enough to hold my attention and I even learned a thing or two.
