Lee is a beloved general, held in the highest regard. To others, he is one of history's most paradoxical heroes. He fought passionately to defend his homeland and was one of the nation's greatest soldiers, yet his name is often inextricably linked with slavery and secession. \u003cbr\u003e In 1861 Lee was Lincoln's first choice to lead the Union troops in the Civil War. But a strong loyalty to Virginia held Lee back. Instead he chose to become the commanding officer of the Confederacy. Lee had great success in battle by spitting his forces and unleashing suprise attacks. His victory at Chancellorville, where his troops soundly defeated an enemy twice their size, remains the most astonishing. \u003cbr\u003e However, only when he surrendered in 1865 did the nation understand the kind of man Robert E. Lee truly was. He was kind and loving, giving all of himself to a reconciliation between the North and the South. In this meticulously researched biography, James I. Robertson explores the life of one of the most revered -- and misunderstood -- Civil War Generals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atheneum Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780689857317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.30h x 8.16w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2005 pg. 340 - Recommended - Better Than Most\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2005 pg. 1145\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2005 pg. 153\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2005 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2006 pg. 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2006 pg. 175 - Recommended, Satisfactory\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eALA Best Books Young Adults\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2007 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e102675 \/ Robert E.
