Davis and Lee at War
Steven E Woodworth. Davis and Lee shared a mutual respect for each other,
but it was respect mixed with resistance to the other's influence. The
result of this tense tug-of-war was Davis' misguided pursuit of a middle
ground that gave neither Lee's offensive strategy nor Davis' defensive
strategy its best chance for success. At war's end, Davis was as
indecisive as ever and virtually blind to how little confidence his
generals had in his leadership. 440 pgs., 20 B&W illustrations, 6"x 9",
hdbd.

Lee vs. Pickett
Two Divided by War. Richard F. Selcer. Robert E. Lee and George E. Pickett
had a lot in common. They shared a military education, a Virginia
birthright, even a middle name. Both graduated from West Point (one first,
the other last in his class) and Southerners remember both fondly, but few
realize that great animosity existed between these two icons of the
Confederacy. Here is an exploration of the complicated and contentious
relationship between these men and their images through history. 144 pgs.,
