<p><strong><em>New York Times</em> Bestseller</strong></p><p><strong>"Lively, approachable, and captivating. Like Lee himself, everything about Clouds of Glory is on a grand scale." —<em>Boston Globe</em></strong></p><p><strong>Michael Korda, the acclaimed biographer of<em> Ulysses S. Grant </em>and the bestsellers <em>Ike </em>and <em>Hero</em>, offers a brilliant, balanced, single-volume biography of Robert E. Lee, the first major study in a generation</strong></p><p>Korda paints a vivid and admiring portrait of Lee as a general and a devoted family man who, though he disliked slavery and was not in favor of secession, turned down command of the Union army in 1861 because he could not "draw his sword" against his own children, his neighbors, and his beloved Virginia. He was surely America''s preeminent military leader, as calm, dignified, and commanding a presence in defeat as he was in victory. Lee''s reputation has only grown in the 150 years since the Civil War, and Korda covers in groundbreaking detail all of Lee''s battles and traces the making of a great man''s undeniable reputation on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Line, positioning him finally as the symbolic martyr-hero of the Southern Cause.</p><p><em>Clouds of Glory</em> features dozens of stunning illustrations, some never before seen, including eight pages of color images, sixteen pages of black-and-white images, and nearly fifty battle maps.</p>
