In 1861, when the Civil War began, few generals on either side had experience commanding troop formations larger than a single regiment. In the rugged mountains and dense forests of western Virginia Robert E. Lee and George B. McClellan received their first opportunities to command an army in combat - each against the other.
Lee vs. McClellan: The First Campaign is a vivid, gripping account of this crucial - but often overlooked - campaign of the Civil War. Military historian Clayton R. Newell tells the story with a masterly grasp of strategy, a soldier's feel for the grueling realities of war, and a keen understanding of the military and political stakes.
