Douglas Southall Freeman set the gold standard in historical writing on the American Civil War. Twice winner of the Pulitzer Prize, he spent eight years on the completion of Lee’s Lieutenants in three volumes. That work has now been edited into one volume by Stephen Sears another distinguished Civil War Historian and author of such works as Gettysburg and Landscape Turned Red. Lee’s Lieutenants has long been considered one of the great masterpieces of military history. And as James McPherson notes in his introduction: “Stephen W. Sears…has performed a service of inestimable value…It is a lean, muscular narrative. Freeman would surely have approved.” Lee’s Lieutenants stands as a defining work, a towering landmark in Civil War literature. Accessible at last in a one-volume edition, Lee’s Lieutenants is essential reading for all Civil War buffs, students of war, and admirers of the historian’s art practiced at its very highest level.

Douglas Southall Freeman was born in Lynchburg, Virginia in 1886, the son of a Confederate soldier. After receiving a Ph.D. in history from John Hopkins University at the age of twenty-two he embarked upon a newspaper career. He was named editor of the Richmond News Leader at the age of twenty-nine, a post he would hold for thirty-four years. In 1915, Freeman was commissioned to write a one-volume biography of Robert E. Lee; twenty years later, his four–volume R.E. Lee won the Pulitzer prize. The three volumes of Lee’s Lieutenants took him a relatively modest eight years to write. He won another Pulitzer Prize for his six-volume biography of George Washington, which he finished only hours before his death in 1953.
