The Confederate victory at the Battle of Chancellorsville is considered the crowning military achievement of Gen. Robert E. Lee.

The risk paid off with a stunning victory.
Learn how “Fighting Joe” Hooker squandered his good strategy with his timid leadership, and how Robert E. Lee took prudent risk to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
