Lee. american history. american civil war. military history. ~In meeting the need for a one~volume biography of R.E. Lee, Clifford Dowdey has drawn upon considerable new material for this significant and original interpretation. Removing Lee from the delimiting frame of the Civil War and placing him in the context of the Republic's total history, he shows the" eternal relevance" of this tragic figure to the American heritage. Of the personal letters that have come to light over the past twenty~five years, more than two hundred from Lee's earlier life were contained in the George Bolling Lee Collection, made available for this book by the Virginia Historical Society. With this material, Dowdey brings fresh insights into Lee's background (especially his mother's influence) and personal relationships, and examines the factors which made Lee that rare specimen, "a complete person" ~ the key to his awesome character. In tracing Lee's reluctant involvement in the sectional conflict, Dowdey shows that he was essentially a "peacemaker," very advanced in his disbelief in war as a resolution. Out of his vast familiarity with the campaigns of the Army of Northern Virginia, Dowdey keeps Lee and other leaders in close focus during their individual tests in the decisive hours of war. Although one of the "Old Army's" most distinguished soldiers, Lee had never led troops in combat until suddenly given command of a demoralized, hodgepodge force under siege from McClellan in front of Richmond. In a detailed study of Lee's growth in the mastery of the techniques of war, he shows his early mistakes, the nature of his seemingly intuitive powers, the limitations imposed by his personal character (along with his physical decline) and the effect of this character on the men with whom he created the legendary army. With emphasis always on the human motivation, Dowdey casts considerable light on Lee's relationship with Davis (a field of his special study) and shows that Lee himself lost his clarity of action in the inexorably approaching end of the last weeks. It was after the fighting was over that Dowdey believes Lee made his most significant and neglected achievement. As a symbol of the defeated people, he rose above all hostilities and, in the wreckage of his own fortunes, advocated rebuilding a New South, for which he set the example with his progressive program in education. The essence of Lee's tragedy was the futility of his efforts, in "The Age of Hate," toward the harmonious restoration of the Republic with the dissensions of the past forgotten.
