The Making of Robert E. LeeJHU Press, 7 באפר׳ 2003 - 360 עמודים "In a study rich with discussions of Lee's religious beliefs and political opinions, the author skewers previous efforts to detach Lee from slavery, racism, and the Lost Cause. Sure to arouse debate, this book challenges and delights, and no one will come away from reading it thinking of Lee in quite the same way." -- Library Journal |
