Sketches of the Life and Character of Patrick Henry
Concise, informative, fresh and fair. Lee is lionized in American history- a man in bronze, but didn't he ever make any mistakes? His exemplary record as a student at West Point is well known, receiving no demerits in four years. How about on the battlefield? Was he in sync with his commander in chief- Jefferson Davis? Was General Lee a good communicator with his subordinates? What obstacles faced him as he took on the larger, better equipped Union Army? The writer Palmer breaks his book into three offensive campaigns that Lee launched, the Maryland Campaign, the Gettysburg Campaign, and the Bristoe Station Campaign. Where did Lee fail?
The book concludes strong in a compelling "conclusions" section. I wished that many other history books drew to a close as this one did. At 136 pages, Mr. Palmer makes wise use of the readers' time.
