Rebels Resurgent

Another excellent book in the Time-Life Series of the Civil War. General Robert E. Lee and his Army of Northern Virginia were on a winning streak beginning with the Battle of Fredericksburg in December 1862 in an overwhelming and bloody battle fighting the Army of the Potomac. In May of 1863 Lee was out to crush the Army of the Potomac and at Chancellorsville meted out a bad beating to the Union Army but at great cost in casualties. I recommend this book to all those who are interested in the Civil War and who can't get enough of American History.

Time Civil War Set

The Time Civil War Series is a great comprehesive overview of the the Civil War from the causes up through reconstruction. Rebels Resurgent: Fredericksburg to Chancellorsville is a ensential part of this series as this is the period when Lee's Army of Northern Virginia was at its best, not only defeating the Army of the Potomac, but literally fighting circles around them despite being at an extrme numerical disadvantage. Mr. Lincoln on the other hand, possessed his biggest challenge of the war: finding a commanding general in the east, who not only would take the fight to the enemy, but do it in a competent manner. Casualties were high, and results and morale were low. Again, a great book, illustrated in a correlating manner.
