O knihe

"A wholly human gentleman, the essential elements of whose positive character were two and only two, simplicity and spirituality." -Douglas Southall Freeman, Lee's biographer
Gen. Robert E, Lee knew that he and his generals were commissioned, not only to win battles, though they did strive heroically and often triumphantly for victory, but they were equally entrusted with a sacred responsibility to uphold duty and honor. Following the principled example set by Lee, the Southern command was characterized by gallantry and chivalry in the face of overwhelming odds.
May I Quote You, General Lee? Volume Two, explores the words and statements of Lee and his generals that represent a period in history as far removed from contemporary experience as the way of life they fought to preserve. The statements in this volume speak of duty and principle, faith and bout, bravery in the face of certain death, hard choices, and the qualities of leadership that made those men great. Their wisdom, contained in their words and actions, is an immortal testament to their dignity, character, and bravery.
