Of the many remarkable figures in the Civil War, none can approach Robert E. Lee. This narrative life of Lee, told in dramatic style, is based on eyewitness accounts. It includes Lee"s letters and dispatches, also his recorded conversations. It begins with his decision to stand by Virginia, and ends with a moving account of Appomattox. "Burke Davis" particular flair for the immediate you-are-there quality has never been better displayed than in GRAY FOX -- a book that will assure him an honored place among the writers who have explored the great cataclysm of our past."
