Lee vs. McClellan : The First Campaign

In 1861, two brilliant but inexperienced generals faced off in the rugged mountains of western Virginia.

Neither Robert E. Lee nor George B. McClellan had ever commanded an army before; but in the crucial first campaign of the bloody Civil War, both men were quickly put to the test.

Lee vs. McClellan is a vivid, gripping account of this often-overlooked first campaign� a campaign that taught both North and South the grueling realities of war.
