Description

To a few, Robert E. Lee is a beloved general, held in the highest regard. To others, he is one of history’s most paradoxical heroes. He fought passionately to defend his homeland and used to be probably the most nation’s greatest soldiers, yet his name is regularly inextricably linked with slavery and secession.
In 1861 Lee used to be Lincoln’s first choice to lead the Union troops in the Civil War. But a strong loyalty to Virginia held Lee back. Instead he chose to change into the commanding officer of the Confederacy. Lee had great success in battle by spitting his forces and unleashing suprise attacks. His victory at Chancellorville, where his troops soundly defeated an enemy twice their size, remains the most astonishing.
Alternatively, only when he surrendered in 1865 did the nation be mindful the type of man Robert E. Lee in reality used to be. He used to be kind and loving, giving all of himself to a reconciliation between the North and the South. In this meticulously researched biography, James I. Robertson explores the life of one of the vital revered — and misunderstood — Civil War Generals.
