Robert E. Lee
This book challenges the general view that Robert E. Lee was a military genius who staved off inevitable Confederate defeat against insurmountable odds.
Looking at this evidence in a critical way, Nolan concludes that there is little truth to the dogmas traditionally set forth about Lee and the war.
Robert E. Lee offers both a succinct biography and "the" definitive collection of photographs, important paintings, original engravings, artifacts, and significant documents pertaining to the Confederate general.
The author is very careful to avoid taking sides on the Civil War, concentrating, instead, on Lee's successes and failures. This edition of the book contains all six original illustrations, rejuvenated.
Meet ROBERT E. LEE is the story of a great American leader forced to make a terrible decision.
