The 3 Cigars That Destroyed Robert E. Lee

Описание: In the fall of 1862, General Robert E. Lee made his boldest move yet invading the North. With just 55,000 men, he split his army into four parts and launched the Maryland Campaign, aiming to shock the Union and strike at its heart. This was no ordinary maneuver it was part brilliance, part madness, and all Lee.

This episode unravels the incredible military gamble that pushed the Civil War into Northern soil. Discover how Lee became a ghostly legend whispered across Washington, how his tactics reshaped the war, and how one Confederate general nearly rewrote American history.

Told through battlefield reports, soldiers' letters, and war journals, this is the story of ambition, fear, and the razor thin line between victory and disaster.
