Douglas Southall Freeman, ''[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0684829533/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0684829533&linkCode=as2&tag=dailyh0c-20&linkId=ce8a00130309e886964b18b251239a62 Lee]'' edited by Richard Harwell, abridged edition (New York: Scribner, 1997).
This abridged version, masterfully edited by Richard Harwell, in no less brilliant than Freeman’s 1934 four edition masterpiece. Through meticulous research and an easy writing style, the author introduces Lee to the reader as a nuanced and complicated leader. The events and regrets of his early life offer a great deal of insight into the mind of this brilliant tactician, inspired leader, and complex man. This is the standard by which all other accounts of Lee’s life are measured.
