DESCRIPTION:
Robert E. Lee after the war Instead of yet another book about Lee full of military analysis and war, here we have a book about what he did with the rest of his life. The book begins with the surrender at Appomattox and ends with his death. I'm not even sure why I started reading this. I didn't need to read yet another book about Lee, but I'm glad I did. This . "An Extraordinary Man!" according to John M. Johnson. This is the rest of the story. R.E.Lee was one of the most extraordinary Americans ever to live. This book recounts his accomplishments after the war when the South desperately needed leadership.. Great writer, great historian and great biographer! Amazon Customer Flood has produced a masterpiece that reveals the personality and character of Lee more than any book I've read. Lee's tremendous contribution to society after the war is presented in such an enjoyable, readable manner that each revelation unlocked about the inner man becomes a delight to the reader. I read this book in two sitting
Flood draws on new research to create an intensely human and a "wonderful, tragic, and powerful story for which we have been waiting over a century" (Theodore H. These were his finest hours, when he did more than any other American to heal the wounds between North and South. After his surrender at Appomattox, Robert E. Lee lived only another five years - the forgotten chapter of an extraordinary life. White).
