A very long read, but well worth it if you are interested in the American Civil War and/or Robert E. Lee. This book takes "The Marble Man" and makes him human again, with all his triumphs and failures.
Lee was not the perfect man, but he had greatness. A product of his times, he did not change as did others, and this can be counted as one of his failures. But by urging others to lay down their weapons and hatreds, he achieved greatness. Perhaps that is what we should remember him for.
