Leadership Lessons from the Siege of Petersburg: Richard J. Sommers

Dr. Richard J. Sommers, author of Richmond Redeemed, recently reprinted in a Second Edition by Savas Beatie, recently gave a talk about leadership at the Siege of Petersburg which aired on CSPAN.  Luckily for us, as Dr. Sommers writes in an email, it’s now available online:

C-SPAN filmed a presentation on “Richmond Redeemed: Enduring Lessons in Leadership from the Siege of Petersburg” which I delivered at the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center on October 15.  The network broadcast the program in its “America History TV” series on November 29.  A link to that broadcast is given below:
