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.
