Description and Reviews
From The
Publisher:
According to the
historian Samuel Eliot Morison, "There are but a handful of men
who seem to sta nd
above history. Robert E. Lee is preeminent among them." Although
the Civil War proved to be one of the bitterest epochs of the
American experience -- dividing families, sundering communities,
and enforcing fierce regional enmity -- this one man was admired
and respected by partisans from both sides. He was offered the
command of both the Union and Confederate forces, precisely
because the men of his day recognized that he was a man of
impeccable character and unimpeachable courage. Indeed, his legacy
recalls one of the few bright lights in a distinctly dark age.
In this new biographical study, J. Steven Wilkins examines the
attributes of life and service that enable Lee almost to transcend
the controversies and conflicts of the moment to become a model of
leadership for all time. Captivating, informative, and inspiring,
Call of Duty is a substantial contribution to the wide-ranging
scholarship of the Civil War.
