Summary

Discover the remarkable life of Robert E. Lee....

Free bonus Inside!

Robert E. Lee was a hero to some and a villain to others. For one side, he embodied the rebellion of the slave-holding South which had seceded from the Union; for the other side, he was a champion of the little guy, willing to marshal the forces of liberty to stand up against the federal government. How in the world do we get such divergent views on one single man?

It seems that such diversity of opinion is simply a symptom of the American experience, and at certain points in history, these sentiments become embodied on individual people. In many ways, Robert E. Lee was just an average man of his time that was foisted into a role that he never wanted nor asked for. This book presents an objective analysis of what Robert E. Lee’s life was really like. Avoiding the bramble bushes of historical bias, this book takes us through the long, winding, and treacherous path that was trodden by Confederate General Robert E. Lee.

Discover a plethora of topics such as:

  • Growing up in Virginia
  • Lee in the Mexican-American War
  • The American Civil War: Choosing Sides
  • Granny Lee and the Seven Days Battle
  • From Gettysburg to the Trenches
  • Last Years and Death
  • And much more!

So if you want a concise and informative book on Robert E. Lee, then buy now!
