At the threshold of the twenty-first century, in a time when American Civil War has been subjected to revisionist--and often erroneous--judgements, Robert E. Lee remains one of the dominant figures of the stormy period in which the modern United States were born. From the Confederacy's first call to arm, to the Appomattox surrender, Robert E. Lee forged his reputation as perhaps the most daring solider in American history, renowned for his shrewdness, courage, and audacity. Gray Fox is the vivid chronicle of Lee's command, a book that humanizes this gentleman-soldier of tradition and makes him all the more awe-inspiring. Burke Davis is the author of They Called Him Stonewall. He lives in Meadows of Dan, Virginia
