General Robert E. Lee was a complicated man and military figure - a tragic hero of a lost war. Here, for the first time, Noah Andre Trudeau follows the general's Civil War path with a sepecial emphasis on Lee's changing set of personal values as the conflict wended through four bloody years, and exploring his famous skills as a crafty and daring tactician. An insightful new account, Robert E. Lee delivers a fresh perspective on the man, as well as on the war that divided our nation and led to many of the sectional political issues that have since cast a long shadow over American politics. General Robert E. Lee was a complicated man and military figure. In Robert E. Lee , the 11th book in the critically acclaimed Great Generals Series, Noah Andre Trudeau follows the general's Civil War path with a special emphasis on Lee's changing set of personal values as the conflict wended through four bloody years and by exploring his famous skills as a crafty and daring tactician. Trudeau adds a fresh perspective toward understanding a major figure in American history who remains decidedly an enigma.
"In recent decades, historians have discovered a flesh and blood Lee who is far more complex and interesting than the marble man of yore. Trudeau's fast-paced biography offers a well-rounded portrait of the real Robert E. Lee." - James M. McPherson
