Few events in Civil War history have generated such deliberate myth-making as the retreat that ended at Appomattox. William Marvel shows that during the final week of the war in Virginia, Lee's troops were more numerous yet far less faithful to their cause than has been suggested: Lee himself made mistakes in this campaign, and defeat wrung from him an unusual display of fault-finding. Finally, Marvel proves accounts of the congenial intermingling of the armies at Appomattox to be shamelessly overblown and the renowned exchange of salutes to be apocryphal.

"This well-written study challenges numerous popular myths about the final days of the Army of Northern Virginia.... Stands as the best single-volume study to date on the Appomattox Campaign." - Blue & Gray Magazine "A splendid literary achievement.... A satisfying narrative that supercedes everything previously published on Lee's retreat and in the process dismantles some of the Civil War's most enduring images." - Civil War History"
