Lee after the war.

Edición de la obra Lee after the war

"His army shattered, his cause lost, Lee at the close of the Civil War seemed destined to spend his final years as a prisoner on parole. Yet it is possible that he left a deeper mark on America's history in the four years after Appomattox than during the war." "In this book, Marshall Fishwick, who teaches at Washington and Lee, gives us a close and sympathetic view of the General after the war. His point of view is that of a historian who has lived among the scenes where Lee spent his post-bellum years. The result is a fascinating new interpretation of one of the greatest and most generous men in American history."--Jacket.
