Sommario/riassunto

This biography of Robert E. Lee, written by Douglas Southall Freeman, explores the life and military career of the Confederate general. Originally published in 1934, the book draws on extensive research, including previously unexamined records and manuscripts. Freeman delves into Lee's early life, education at West Point, and his experiences during the Mexican-American War. The biography also covers Lee's role in the American Civil War, his strategic decisions, and his leadership of the Army of Northern Virginia. Freeman aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Lee's character and contributions, appealing to both military scholars and general readers interested in Civil War history and Southern heritage.
