An informative book that demonstrates why Lee is so highly regarded as a General even though he didn't attain victory. the exploration of his pre and post civil war lives give insights into why he left the US Army to fight for Virginia. The book veers into hagiography at times but is still worth reading.

Incredibly frustrating point of view. According to freehall, Lee is a hero in unfortunate circumstances. Lee is so one dimensional you can almost forget that he lead the army that fought for slavery. Informative but not reliable in many instances.
