By May 1864, General Robert E. Lee had been transformed from a young soldier into a gray-haired patriarch of the Confederate cause. As Lee struggled to keep his ragged soldiers alive, he faced pressure from two fronts. Grants Union Army not only had superior numbers, but a steadfast infra-structure or railroads and industrialized supply routes. Lees Last Campaign is a triumph of historic research and elegant writing. In this essential analysis of General Lees military strategy, Dowdey follows the triumphs and tragedies of the Army of Northern Virginia as it breathed its last gasps at the end of the Civil War.
