Requests:  0 Summary:  "Portrait of Lee as a brilliant general, a devoted family man, and principled gentleman who disliked slavery and disagreed with secession, yet who refused command of the Union Army in 1861 because he could not "draw his sword" against his beloved Virginia. Well-rounded and realistic, Clouds of Glory analyzes Lee's command during the Civil War and explores his responsibility for the fatal stalemate at Antietam, his defeat at Gettysburg (as well the many troubling controversies still surrounding it) and ultimately, his failed strategy for winning the war. As Korda shows, Lee's dignity, courage, leadership, and modesty made him a hero on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Line and a revered American icon who is recognized today as the nation's preeminent military leader" --   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aiea Public Library Adult Biography B Lee Ko Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 973.73092 Lee Ko Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.73092 Lee Ko Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Biography B Lee Ko Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Biography B Lee Ko Checked In Add Copy to MyList
