Clouds of Glory: The Life and Legend of Robert E. Lee

A remarkable military leader, Robert E. Lee was a likely candidate to take charge of the Union Army in 1861. However, compelled by a love of his home state of Virginia, this principled man, who disliked slavery and disagreed with secession, pitted himself against an army he served for 36 years. Bestselling author Michael Korda explores this compelling figure, who, as the leading Confederate General, provided the Union with a most fierce adversary.

Michael Korda is a best-selling author and the former Editor-in-Chief of Simon & Schuster. His most recent book is Clouds of Glory: The Life and Legend of Robert E. Lee.
