Robert E. Lee: A Life is a unique and often humorous look at the life of a major player in the Civil War who has long been enshrouded in mystery, perhaps because he was a symbol of the losing - and morally questionable - Confederate side.

Blount brings Robert E. Lee out from the mists of time and does something no other biographer has done: makes him a living, breathing person with interesting tidbits such as the fact that General Lee wore a size 4 ½ C shoe, and that he was the object of the unrequited homosexual infatuation of many of the men who knew him.

Trivia aside, Robert E. Lee: A Life is a must-read for anyone fascinated by Civil War history. Regardless of whether you find his politics offensive, readers must admit that General Lee was an interesting individual – and that this biography is a great read.
