About This Item
Baton Rouge, LA, U.S.A.: Louisiana State University Press, 2004. Book. Near Fine. Paperback. 1st. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 8vo, soft cover, illustrations, nice clean copy, near fine, 260pp. w/index. While most historians agree that Robert E. Lees loyalty to Virginia was the key factor in his decision to join the Confederate cause, Richard B. McCaslin further demonstrates that Lees true call to action was the legacy of the American Revolution viewed through his reverence for George Washington. In this thematic biography, McCaslin locates the sources of Lees devotion to Washington and shows how this bond affected his performance as a general. The enduring paradox, McCaslin shows, is that Washington earned his reputation as a statesman, whereas Lee never escaped his self-imposed image as a revolutionary in Washingtons shadow..
