“This is a delightful volume, filled with insights and firmly grounded in decades of scholarship, teaching, and, yes, reflection, by one of the nation’s foremost authorities on the Civil War. Roland has provided not only an excellent brief biography of his subject, but a balanced evaluation of Robert E. Lee’s strengths as a man and soldier.”—Register of the Kentucky Historical Society
Charles P. Roland, Alumni Professor of History emeritus at the University of Kentucky, is the author of several books, including An American Iliad: The Story of the Civil War; Albert Sidney Johnston: Soldier of Three Republics; Louisiana Sugar Plantations during the Civil War; and My Odyssey through History.
