About This Item
Alfred a Knopf Inc. New. New Robert E Lee is one of the most confounding figures in American history Leebetrayed his nation in order to defend his home state and uphold the slave system he claimed to oppose He was a traitor to the country he swore to serve as an Army officer, and yet he was admired even by his enemies for his composure and leadership He considered slavery immoral, but benefited from inherited slaves and fought to defend the institution And behind his genteel demeanor and perfectionism lurked the insecurities of a man haunted by the legacy of a father who stained the family name by declaring bankruptcy and who disappeared when Robert was just six years old
In Robert E Lee, the award-winning historian Allen Guelzo has written the definitive biography of the general, following him from his refined upbringing in Virginia high society, to his long career in the US Army, his agonized decision to side with Virginia when it seceded from the Union, and his leadership during the Civil War Above all, Guelzo captures Robert E Lee in all his complexity--his hypocrisy and courage, his outward calm and inner turmoil, his honor and his disloyalty
