Bookroo's summary

Robert E. Lee faces a profound dilemma when the Southern states secede. Offered command of the Union forces, his heart remains with Virginia. Torn between duty and loyalty, Lee's choice shapes history. As the Civil War unfolds, will his allegiance to his home state lead to triumph or tragedy? Discover the story of a man caught in the crossfire of a divided nation, whose legacy endures despite the South's defeat.

From the publisher

Robert E. Lee seemed destined for greatness. His father was a Revolutionary War hero and at West Point he graduated second in his class! In 1861, when the Southern states seceded from the Union, Lee was offered the opportunity to command the Union forces. However, even though he was against the war, his loyalty to his home state of Virginia wouldn’t let him fight for the North. Despite the South’s ultimate defeat, General Robert E. Lee remains one of the United States’ true military heroes.
