Lee

When Douglas Southall Freeman's Pulitzer Prize-winning biography R.E. Lee appeared in 1935, the critics raved. This reissue of Richard Harwell's 1961 abridgment chronicles all the major aspects and highlights of Lee's military career, and includes a new introduction by James M. McPherson, author of the bestselling Battle Cry of Freedom. Distinguished, scholarly, yet eminently readable, Lee will fascinate not only Civil War enthusiasts but also everyone interested in this crucial period of American history.
