In this biography, Thomas Page examines both sides of Robert E. Lee. First he presents Robert E. Lee the man, the Southerner with emphasis on his personal character. Second he presents an account of "the extraordinary conditions under which Lee conducted his military operations" and endeavors "to give his relation to the civil power of the Confederate Government." The intention was "to give a clear outline of Lee's military Lee's military career for those who may not care to go further into an account of battles, and then, for others, to give a history of Lee's military operations, which it is hoped may prove sufficiently complete to enable the interested reader to follow intelligently the masterly campaigns on which Lee's fame as a soldier is founded." Maps of battlegrounds are included and a subject, place and everyname index provides easy access to information.
