LEE

The four volume R. E. Lee (1934-35) is a classic of American historical and biographical writing-- and certainly marks the peak of Freeman's work. But four volumes inevitably limit the audience to these utterly dedicated to Lee- and to students and scholars. Now in an abridgement that has successfully held the spirit of the original- Freeman's R. E. Lee will win a whole new group of readers. This is an important addition to the library of Civil War books.
