Reading the Man: A Portrait of Robert E. Lee Through His Private Lettters

Front Cover
Viking, 2007 - Generals - 658 pages
For the 200th anniversary of Robert E. Lee's birth, a new portrait drawing on previously unpublished correspondence. Lee's war correspondence is well known, but the great majority of his most intimate letters have never been made public. They reveal a far more complex and contradictory man than the one who comes most readily to the imagination.
