Book Reviews of Robert E. Lee: A Biography
Book Review: A revealing, humanizing narrative of the legendary general.
Summary: 5 Stars
Professor Thomas' narrative provides a revealing insight into the life of this legendary commander. He is presented as human; cutting through the mythological jargon that prompts superhuman epics to be spread via word-of-mouth or text. Thomas' Robert E. Lee is believable, both as family man and commander of Confederate troops. The reader can now understand Lee's motivation, his love of Virginia, and his ability to lead men, seriously outnumbered, into battle. This is a must-read.
