Michael Korda s "Clouds of Glory" is a fresh, contemporary single volume historical biography of General Robert E. Lee perhaps the most famous and least understood legend in American history and one of our most admired heroes
Michael Korda, author of "Ulysses S. Grant" and the bestsellers "Ike" and "Hero," paints a vivid and admiring portrait of Lee as a brilliant general, a devoted family man, and principled gentleman who disliked slavery and disagreed with secession, yet who refused command of the Union Army in 1861 because he could not draw his sword against his beloved Virginia.
Well-rounded and realistic, "Clouds of Glory" analyzes Lee s command during the Civil War and explores his responsibility for the fatal stalemate at Antietam, his defeat at Gettysburg (as well the many troubling controversies still surrounding it), and ultimately, his failed strategy for winning the war. As Korda shows, Lee s dignity, courage, leadership, and modesty made him a hero on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Line and a revered American icon who is recognized today as the nation s preeminent military leader."
