Lee. He kept up the pressure and attacks despite failures. A lesser general would have backed off. He was determined to annihilate the enemy, which was what was needed. Obviously he didn't, but the intention alone hands it to him.

For responding to events, Chancellorsville.
But as a General, Seven Days. Takes over at the gates of Richmond, ends the campaign ready to move North on Pope. Completely turned it around, despite losing most the battles, showed the fighter he'd be

Not sure will have to check when I am next in that house; the room I use as a "library" is rather in a mess currently, all shelves filled and piles on the floor. He could be buried somewhere.

Yes I have a few on him, think he's lurking on another bookshelf with Hood, Bragg and Johnston. That one is mostly Lee, and then udner him books on different campaigns and battles. Really need to organise it, take down that temporary stuff and have new built, but have been busy

Mine have a few library marks on the front, but they do the job well enough

Cheaper than what I paid for that set, bought it on AbeBooks maybe 5 years or so ago

Looks interesting, although I'm not a member. Usually avoid groups, not sure why

Got my hands on the silver one since. Shows Wellington meeting Blucher, a wounded Prince of Orange, and the shadow of Napoleon looming over all

Thanks very much!

I own this one they released. Also released a silver coin, and a set of EU currency in a Waterloo anniversary cover

For some reason no. I'm sure I will down the line

I'll perhaps watch it if I remember it. Can't say it's something I'm very interested in
