Therefore this is a mixed set of Douglas Southall Freeman's Lee's Lieutenants, A Study in Command, complete in three volumes, and signed on the front endpaper of Vol. Bud Robertson calls this study "The ablest descriptive and evaluative study of the leading generals (and their campaigns) in Lee's army; massively documented, movingly written, highly authoritative, and faintly smug" [Nevins I, 30]. For his part, Eicher considers the set to be "brilliantly written volumes [which] deserve to be read by all Civil War students" [Eicher, 971].

And Harwell asserts that Lee's Lieutenants "stands in its own right as one of the great works of military history" [ITC 61]. (Howes F-349, Nevins I, 30; Eicher, 971; ITC 61).
