Item description from seller

Lee, Grant and Sherman , A Study in Leadership in the 1864-1865 Campaign is offered from a private library. Highlighted with an introduction by Douglas Southall Freeman, this collectible published in 1939 and written by Lieut.-Colonel Alfred H. Burke would be a great addition to your personal collection. *** FREE SHIPPING *** "Lee, Grant and Sherman: A Study in Leadership in the 1864-65 Campaign" (1938) is a highly influential work of military analysis written by Lieutenant Colonel Alfred H. Burne, a British soldier and historian. Unlike many of the other books we’ve discussed, which were written by participants or early biographers, this is a military textbook originally written for British officers studying for their staff college exams. 1. What the Book is About Burne’s book is famous for its "outsider" perspective. As a British officer, he looked at the American Civil War with a fresh, analytical eye, often challenging the "orthodox" views held by American historians at the time. Controversial Comparisons: Burne was one of the first major historians to argue that Robert E. Lee's generalship was technically superior to Ulysses S. Grant's, even during the final year of the war. The "Sherman" Critique: He was famously critical of William T. Sherman, arguing that Sherman was often too obsessed with "raiding" and geographic objectives (like capturing Atlanta) rather than the primary military goal of destroying the enemy's army in the field. Inherent Military Probability: Burne used a unique method he called "Inherent Military Probability"—if records were unclear about why a general did something, Burne would analyze what a modern, trained staff officer would logically do in that situation to fill in the gaps.
