Audacity Personified: The Generalship of Robert E. Lee
Peter S. Carmichael
Despite the literary outpouring on the life of Robert E. Lee, the southern chieftain remains an enigma. Peter S. Carmichael has assembled a formidable array of Civil War historians who rigorously return to Lee's own words and actions in interpreting the war in Virginia. This is the first collective volume to scrutinize specific aspects of the general's military career. Falling into neither the pro- nor anti-Lee camp, "Audacity Personified" challenges long-standing beliefs accepted since Douglas Southall Freeman's influential biography of Lee was published seventy years ago. Hardback.

Lee in the Shadow of Washington
Richard B. McCaslin
While most historians agree that Robert E. Lee's loyalty to Virginia was the key factor in his decision to join the Confederate cause, Richard B. McCaslin further demonstrates that Lee's true call to action was the legacy of the American Revolution viewed through his reverence for George Washington. In this thematic biography, McCaslin locates the sources of Lee's devotion to Washington and shows how this bond affected his performance as a general. The enduring paradox, McCaslin shows, is that Washington earned his reputation as a statesman, whereas Lee never escaped his self-imposed image as a revolutionary in Washington's shadow.

Mrs. Robert E. Lee: The Lady of Arlington
John Perry
Mary Custis Lee was a woman of contrasts - a woman with a will of iron whose faith in God sustained her through years of separation from her husband, the deaths of two children, and the heartbreaking transformation of her magnificent estate into a military cemetary. Based on previously unpublished private journals and letters spanning half a century, "Mrs. Robert E. Lee" unveils the story of an articulate, passionate, and selfless patriot worthy of her heritage as the great-granddaughter of Martha Washington and consort to one of the most revered military leaders in American history.
