Lee In the Shadow of Washington (Conflicting Worlds: New Dimensions of the American Civil War) - Softcover
Synopsis
Winner of the Austin Civil War Round Table’s Laney Prize and the Virginia Historical Society’s Richard L. Slatten Award for Excellence in Virginia Biography
While most historians agree that Robert E. Lee’s loyalty to Virginia was the key factor in his decision to join the Confederate cause, Richard B. McCaslin further demonstrates that Lee’s true call to action was the legacy of the American Revolution viewed through his reverence for George Washington. In this thematic biography, McCaslin locates the sources of Lee’s devotion to Washington and shows how this bond affected his performance as a general. The enduring paradox, McCaslin shows, is that Washington earned his reputation as a statesman, whereas Lee never escaped his self-imposed image as a revolutionary in Washington’s shadow.

Review
In clear, straightforward prose, the readers are treated to a concise overview of Lee’s life and career. . . . Not only historians but Americans of all stripes will embrace this delightfully written book. (Journal of Southern History)
McCaslin demonstrates conclusively that Washington’s memory inspired Lee at every turn. . . . He makes a strong case that, for good or ill, Lee’s emulation of Washington shaped overall Confederate strategy during the war. (Journal of American History)
