CAMPAIGN Series book No 95: Second Manassas 1862 - Robert E Lee’s greatest victory
A highly illustrated, compact volume on a significant win for the Confederacy.
"There never was such a campaign, not even by Napoleon," wrote Confederate General Pender of the Second Manassas campaign in which the gray-bearded Virginian, Robert E Lee, came as close as he ever would to exterminating his Northern enemies.
In so doing, Lee established himself as the South's pre-eminent military commander and the Army of Northern Virginia as it's most powerful weapon. The fighting in northern Virginia left Union General John Pope's career in tatters and proved the South was a power to be reckoned with.
This book's powerful account demonstrates that during that fateful summer of 1862 Lee's soldiers were fighting for anything but a lost cause.
