About
"Confederate Civil War general Robert E. Lee has not had a good press in recent years. Beginning with Thomas Connelly's The Marble Man in 1977, a number of historians have written books designed to topple Lee from his lofty pedestal. In Duty Faithfully Performed, noted biographer John M. Taylor ably counters these revisionist criticisms with a forceful defense of General Lee's character and military accomplishments.
Focusing on Lee's personal life and his attitude toward slavery, on his generalship, and on the erstwhile Confederacy's "Lee cult," it is a counter-revisionist biography of one of the most complex and controversial men in American history."--BOOK JACKET.
