- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have been held captive by tales of the American revolution and the Civil War since I was a child! Growing up in Norfolk, Virginia, near the heart of the birthplace of our country, visiting Jamestown, Williamsburg, Richmond, Lexington, Charlottesville, Gettysburg, Antietam, Washington, D.C., and so many other sites, as a child... surely influenced me!Today I am a genealogist by profession, and as such, I am drawn to the histories of great families for my reading pleasure.What a great read this was, following my last biography on Robert E. Lee!Perry covers the "General" as few others did. While skipping over the details of an illustrious military career, yet still bringing mention, and to give the reader a verifiable timeline to establish a time frame, Perry gives one a glimpse into the life, emotions, loves, and faith of this great American icon.One is given insight to the thoughts and worries that plagued this great man who was torn between love of country, love of state, and love of family.I cannot recommend this read enough, and give it my thumbs up award.***Disclosure: A copy of this book was provided by the publisher for review.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I particularly like the approach of this book and author to the General's character and personality, especially his Christianity. General Lee who was ever a hard worker, loyal to his country though mostly his home state of Virginia, remained forever a humble man. Loved this audiobook!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Understood Lee better from the letters he wrote home while on campaigns. The letters show his belief in a sovereign God. He was an amazing leader.
