All together, a very good bio of Robert E. Lee, covering things I did not know or even imagine about him. The only reason for the four-star rating is that I found the narrative a bit smarmy and overdone when discussing some of Lee's reasons for doing some of the things he did, and Flood's actually thinking he could possibly know Lee's reasons. Overall, a good read and worth a spot in my Civil War library.
