The book constitutes a collection of unpublished letters and dispatches from General Robert E. Lee to Confederate President and the War Department of the Confederate States of America. These dispatches provide incredible insight into the Civil War, these men, and their relationship. Many of these will broaden your view of Lee’s strategy and throw significant light on disputed movements. Some show how slow he was to blame and ready to applaud his subordinates. Others contain expressions of cautious forebodings or frank warnings. All show that there was always open confidence and full co-operation between Lee and Davis. But most of all they testify to the nobility of character of one of the finest military leaders America every produced who was subjected to every test by which the heart of a man many be tried.
