‘He writes more authoritatively perhaps than any serious student of Lee’s campaign ever has written.’ -Douglas Southall Freeman, Virginia Quarterly Review, Summer, 1925
‘The standing of the author, his evident fairness, his logical analysis, must insure the work a high place among the histories of the world’s great strategists.’ -Blanton Fortson, Georgia Historical Quarterly, June, 1926
‘The singular value of General Maurice’s book consists in his own large military experience, and above all in his bringing the most intimate observation and knowledge of the great European War to bear on Lee’s career and military achievements. It is really remarkable to see how the Southern leader anticipated the developments of fifty years later, how great were his versatility and originality, in short how thoroughly he was stamped with the mark of a genius in the art of war.’ -Gamaliel Bradford, The Atlantic, June, 1925
