Robert E. Lee is still remembered and even praised even though he led the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia against the Union for about 3 years of the war. \u003cbr\u003e Lee is celebrated for giving the Union Army of the Potomac trouble for most of the war, forcing Lincoln to fire several generals and defending Richmond until April 1865. As a result, the South loved him, and even today many Southerners look at him as the perfect leader. \u003cbr\u003e However, Lee wasn't perfect, as evidenced by his defeat at Gettysburg. And ultimately, he wasn't working with enough to win the war; both of his invasions of the North ended with strategic defeats, including at Antietam. \u003cbr\u003e Despite his defeats, Lee was revered by Confederate veterans, and this biography was written by his nephew Fitzhugh, who was a cavalry officer in Lee's army for much of the war. Naturally, Fitz Lee defends his uncle against most of the perceived criticisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.53 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 11, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47407874834610,"sku":"9781494450878","price":13.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/6dce90ecbb337fa65ea8df37c9b64e3b.webp?v=1778230739","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/general-lee-a-biography-of-robert-e-lee-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
