Lee was the most heroic figure of the Civil War; but to many, he is a solitary figure. This book fleshes out the man, as well as probing the workings of a great mil. mind and a warm, understanding and generous human being. It shows all the facets of the General during the war; at the conclusion, when he was an outspoken proponent of a reasonable peace which would allow the South to rejoin the Union; and after the war, when he served as Pres. of Wash. College, when he became a driving force for the creation of a viable educ'l. system. This anthology shows all these facets of the General, through his correspondence and through the revealing insight supplied by his son.
