And, by the way, if he was such a lousey general, why are his campaigns still prome studies in just about every militarhy academy in the world?

And how did he whip the socks off armies that outnumbered his by sometimes as much as 4 to 1, with some regularity for about 3 years?

I’ve wondered how much Lee’s genius was enhanced by the sheer incompetence of the Union generals he was up against. Plus, he had some of the best subordinate generals a man could ask for, most notably Stonewall Jackson.

I always likened Lee v. Grant to Rommel v. Montgomery. There’s some interesting parallels between the four men, both personality-wise and in their history as opponents.
