Robert E. Lee, a Christian and a gentleman, was the most remarkable man to emerge from the Civil War and is one of the greatest tragic figures of American history. Reserved and unflappable, savvy and fearless, shrewd and tenacious, fatherly and kind; these are but a few of the adjectives commonly used to describe this noble hero. By using a dramatic form of narrative and relying on numerous eyewitness accounts, Burke Davis brings Lee to life. Listening to this powerful work gives you the feeling you are there, with Lee, Jackson, and the rest. It is a rare blend of history and emotion, a book that speaks to both the mind and the heart.©1956 by Burke Davis; (P)1990 by Blackstone Audiobooks Military War

I have read literally hundreds of books spanning all of recorded history and have learned about countless military leaders. In light of that, this book blew my mind, and has unequivocally placed General Robert E. Lee on the very top of the list of military leaders who I most respect. When you read it, you will certainly see why.

There are a couple places where the sound goes a little wonky (like the narrator is walking through a tunnel), but it's not bad enough to keep me from rereading it in the future.

This needs to be added to the cannon of US history books to be taught in schools across the country.

Any additional comments?

Low quality recording. Even in one place, it tells you that you are the end of a cassette - I was listening on an iPhone5. Also, there was a echo - usually a delay, but once it was ahead of the actual dictation. The latter was particularly noticeable with high quality earphones.Not up to Audible's usually high quality.

I knew almost nothing about Robert E Lee before I listened to this book. I found it quite interesting.

Two flaws in my mind:

As with any start to finish narrative, some of it is not as interesting as the rest.

The narrator was okay but not great.

An interesting narrative
