A great book about an all-time great man.

[Gwen Kubberness · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good research, I am related to him distantly, so I wanted to read something that would let me know his military side and boy this was a good pick.

Robert E. Lee – a reader, edited by Stanley Horn – paean to Lee, lots of wonderful old sourses, though only into the 1940,s. Above all his grace under pressure, existential choices which tested his loyalties, nature of a gentleman under most difficult circumstances. Good reading for our annual visit to western, rural Ky.

Read this at the urging of a neighbor. It may be that even as a Southerner, this was more than I needed to know about Lee. I liked it, but it was definitely detail oriented. Unless you're a history buff of the Civil War era, you may find it tedious.

For the RE Lee afficianado. Originally published in 1949, reprinted with I imagine
the Ken Burns inspired craze. I enjoyed it, but it's for the history minded.

Just finished this bit of history. Now I see my father's fascination with the civil war.
