Sobre este artículo
University Park, Illinois, U.S.A.: Osprey Pub Co, 2002. New book, 64 pages, ELI088. The generals who led the brigades, divisions, corps and armies of the Confederacy were very largely products of the same professional backgrounds as their opponents in Union blue - indeed, many of them were former West Point classmates and brother officers in the pre-war US Army, who had served together on the frontier or in the Mexican War. In terms of field experience they were also similar to the vast majority of Union commanders - none of them had ever commanded so much as a brigade before 1861, and they had to learn by trial and error. Some whose pre-war record had promised much were to fail the test of war; some more obscure officers were to rise to the challenge remarkably. This first of two volumes devoted to the Confederate generals details the careers, personalities and appearance of 25 commanders who made their names mainly with the Army of Northern Virginia in the Eastern theater of war. Covers Edward Alexander, Richard Anderson, Lewis Armistead, Jubal Early, Nathan Evans, Richard Ewell, Samuel Garland, John Gordon, Maxcy Gregg, Wade Hampton, Henry Heth, Ambrose Hill, Thomas Jackson, Joseph Kershaw, Robert E. Lee, James Longstreet, Lafayette McLaws, William Mahone, William Pendleton, George Pickett, Robert Rodes, Gustavus Smith, James E. B. Stuart, William Whiting. Soft Cover. As New. Illus. by Hook, Richard. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
