Warrior Generals: Combat Leadership In The Civil War

In this epic narrative, award-winning historian Thomas B. Buell examines three pairs of legendary generals from the Union and Confederacy, including Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee, who met repeatedly in battle. In a penetrating study of combat leadership, Buell shows us how these leaders prevailed through strengths of character that often existed side by side with flaws that would have undone other men.

Interweaving stories of these six men with dramatic scenes from famous battlefields such as Antietam and Chattanooga, Buell creates a sweeping panorama of the Civil War.
