Book Reviews of Gray Fox: Robert E. Lee and the Civil War (Classics of War)
Book Review: An Excellent Book About an Excellent Man
Summary: 5 Stars
Burke Davis presents his mastery of research and history with Gray Fox, a book detailing General Robert E. Lee's endeavors throughout the American Civil War. Gray Fox is flooded with immense detail and numerous accounts of people who existed alongside Lee, from journal entries to letters. The book is able to connect with the reader in such a way that one actually feels as though they have entered the 1860s; emotions are conveyed strongly as well.
But more than simply an example of excellent writing, Gray Fox brings to the reader someone that all Americans should revere: the man of Robert E. Lee. Though written objectively, the reader cannot help but gain extreme respect for the bearded general; his humility, loyalty, and faith demonstrated by Lee are prime examples of what all men nowadays should strive to be. After reading this book, I have a great deal of admiration for not only Lee, but the whole of the Confederate States of America; believe me when I say that there was a lot more there than racist rednecks. Davis also examines Lee's views on race and the CSA, as well.
In short--get this book. Not just because you are a Civil War buff, or a CSA sympathizer, or love Robert E. Lee, but because you owe it to yourself, as an American, to entertain yourself with one of the greatest men in history, and to learn from his wisdom.
Thank you Burke Davis!
