	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. Faculty/Staff and Alumni Discount applies. ISBN #W361 $26.95
	General Lee and Santa Claus  Louise Clack Robert E. Lee's transformation from Rebel general to American icon took place in the public consciousness due in large part to artifacts such as Louise Clark's General Lee and Santa Claus. Appearing in 1867, the book casts, for perhaps the first time, the venerable General Lee in the dual role of arbiter of Confederate defeat and proponent of national reconciliation. The fact that Lee's image was deemed appropriate for use in a children's book attests to his sweeping influence, and demonstrates the profound impact his exemplary life had on younger generations in the decades following the Civil War.

	Lee  Douglas Southall Freeman When Douglas Southall Freeman's Pulitzer Prize-winning biography "R.E. Lee" appeared in 1935, the critics raved. This reissue of Richard Harwell's 1961 abridgment chronicles all the major aspects and highlights of Lee's military career, and includes a new introduction by James M. McPherson, author of the bestselling "Battle Cry of Freedom." Distinguished, scholarly, yet eminently readable, "Lee" will fascinate not only Civil War enthusiasts but also everyone interested in this crucial period of American history.

	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.
