All unquestioned masterpiecc of the historian's art, and a towering landmark in the literature of the American Civil War. Lee's Lieutenants: A Study in Command is the most colorful and popular of all of Douglas Southall Freeman's works; it is generally considered the most penetrating study ever written of military personalities and tactics during the American Civil War. A sweeping narrative that presents a multiple biography against the flame-shot background of history, it is the story of the great figures of the Army of Northern Virginia who fought under Robert E. Lee as they came forward on the stage of war. In this first volume, Manassas to Malvern Hill, Dr. Freeman describes the rise and fall of General Beauregard, the growing friction between Jefferson Davis and Joseph E. Johnston, the emergence and failure of a number of military charlatans, and the first display of ability on the part of some new men at a time when the organization developed at Manassas collapsed at Seven Pines. The narrative illumines the rise of "Stonewall" Jackson and traces his progress in the Shenandoah Valley campaign and into Richmond amid the acclaim of the South, accompanies him through the failures during the Seven Days, and then leaves him, with the new army entirely organized, in the center of the stage of history. Manassas to Malvern Hill is the first volume of a three-volume work. In the second volume, the men whose reputations were made, or lost, on such fields as Manassas at the second battle of Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, and Chancellorsville dominate the narrative; volume three depicts the Gettysburg campaign and the thunder signaling the ruin of the Confederacy.

Lee's Lieutenant's, Vol 1 Review

Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2012

Verified Purchase

This is a great book in a 3 volume series that costs over $156 new. Widely acknowledged as the best read on the superior generalship of the Southern leaders; particularly in the early years of the Civil War.

The Anatomy of a Challenging Command...

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2012

Douglas Southall Freeman's three volume "Lee's Lieutenants" is a masterful examination of the generals who served Lee as subordinates in the Army of Northern Virginia across years of Civil War battlefields. This first volume is something of a preface. It picks up the Confederate narrative in the immediate aftermath of Fort Sumter, as first P.G.T. Beauregard and then Joseph Johnston were commanders of the Confederate force that would become Lee's command during the Battles of the Seven Days outside Richmond in 1862. The future Army of Northern Virginia was not yet the lethal instrument that it would become under Lee, with an underdeveloped staff and many inexperienced officers. It did have "Stonewall" Jackson, fresh from his famous Valley campaign, and many other talented leaders who would achieve varying degrees of distinction under Lee's command.

Freeman was a trained historian, journalist, newspaper editor, and finally a Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer before taking up the task of this history, which remains remarkably readable over half a century after its initial publication. Freeman's understanding of Lee the commander is futher enhanced by having lived in a era when the Civil War was still in living memory. His writing has a freshness and an eye for detail that should entertain the general reader and fascinate the student of the Civil War. Highly recommended, even in used condition.

Great

Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2011

This volume follows the early days of the Army of Northern Virginia, specifically, the period when the army was organized into separate divisions, as opposed to corps. The first part of the book focuses on the army while under Beauregard and Johnston ("Lee's Predecessors") and Freeman thoroughly covers the army from the commanding general down to troops supply wagons. The second part focuses on Stonewall Jacksons Valley Campaign, and Freeman covers this campaign as thoroughly as the previous ones. The last part focuses on the Seven Days, after Lee takes over the army. Since this book doesn't focus on Lee, Freeman leaves out a lot of details concerning how the campaign is planned as well as any combat where Lee is directly in charge. Thus, you do not see the battle in its entirety, and may be confused if you don't have a previous understanding of the campaign. However, he thoroughly covers the actions of Lee's subordinates and you truly feel like you get to know Lee's lieutenants.

Top Form Romantic History

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2000

Freeman accomplishes something with Lee's Lieutenants at which many historians fail: he has written a work that not only instructs and engages the mind, but also transports the reader to the time and place of which he writes. There is nothing dry here. Although more technical (and maybe even a little more accurate) studies have been written on the Army of Northern Virginia, Freeman's rendering of Jackson's Valley campaign will remain the greatest ever put to paper. I also found Lee's Lieutenants to be a better work than R.E. Lee, for the simple fact that Freeman's hero worship is not quite so apparent in the former work.
