Review:
"When one picks up Philip Katcher's "The Army of Northern Virginia, Lee's Army in the American Civil War, they will become excited... Mr. Katcher immediately makes his participation known, as he is a very accomplished historian... The reader will find jewels of information not common elsewhere.... Like a seamstress who can make a beautiful quilt out of many pieces of cloth, Katcher creates a combination of many period quotes, actual pictures and modern visuals resources to accomplish his goal... ."-"The Watchdog, Winter 2004
