About This Item
Birmingham: Southern Classics Library, 1982. New/No Dust Jacket As Issued.
No Flaws or Blemishes; Gift Quality, with publisher's booklet. 9.5 inches tall; 601 pages with an index with battle maps and some photo plates. Unread, appears unopened. . Freeman's research of Lee was exhaustive. He evaluated and cataloged every item about Lee, and he reviewed records at West Point and the War Department and material in private collections.
In narrating the general's Civil War years, he used what came to be known as the "fog of war" technique, providing readers only the limited information that Lee himself had at a given moment. That helped convey the confusion of war that Lee experienced as well as the processes by which Lee grappled with problems and made decisions.
Published in four volumes in 1934 and 1935. In 1935, Freeman was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his four-volume biography.
