"His army shattered, his cause lost, Lee at the close of the Civil War seemed destined to spend his final years as a prisoner on parole. Yet it is possible that he left a deeper mark on America's history in the four years after Appomattox than during the war." "In this book, Marshall Fishwick, who teaches at Washington and Lee, gives us a close and sympathetic view of the General after the war. His point of view is that of a historian who has lived among the scenes where Lee spent his post-bellum years. The result is a fascinating new interpretation of one of the greatest and most generous men in American history."--Jacket.
