About the Author:
Lee's Last Campaign is cinematic in its vividness and immediacy, a triumph of style and substance by Clifford Dowdey, the author of The Seven Days: The Emergence of Lee (1964), also reprinted as a Bison Book. Robert K. Krick, the author of Stonewall Jackson at Cedar Mountain (1990), has written an introduction for both books.
Review:
"A distinguished study of Lee's operations from the Wilderness to Petersburg. Dowdey is both exciting and provocative as he analyzes the frustrating restrictions which surrounded Lee during this crucial campaign."—David Donald, New York Herald Tribune (David Donald New York Herald Tribune )
"In many ways this is the best study yet made of Lee’s last desperate campaign in the open field."—Bruce Catton, New York Times Book Review (Bruce Catton New York Times Book Review )
"[Dowdey's work is noted for] readability, historical accuracy, a feeling for human character and motives, and a talent for narrative. . . . The evaluation of Lee alone is a superbly perceptive piece of writing. Highly recommended."—Library Journal (Library Journal )
