"AMAZON REVIEW, FIVE STARS - ""A GREAT WAY TO KNOW THIS MAN!"" ""If you want to really get to know this famous historical figure, what better way than to read his own words? Col. Seabrook's book includes hundreds of excerpts of letters, conversations and speeches from this remarkable man. Despite being known as a warrior in the bloodiest conflict this country has ever seen, he was actually a simple, devout Christian who lived his life with his eye firmly on the grace of God. This man was amazing. If it were not for him and what he manifested to his soldiers, the so called 'Civil War' would have lasted much longer, and the country would have been further torn apart. The USA owes a debt to Robert E. Lee for not advocating guerrilla warfare in the face of the situation at Appomattox. This is a must-read for all students of history."" - DOUG BOREN ""An excellent book about an excellent man. Love the quotes."" - GLORIA PEOPLES ELAM AMAZON REVIEW - ""GOOD INFORMATION THAT WIDENS YOUR KNOWLEDGE"" ""The Quotable Robert E. Lee contains a lot of details about the important events in the incredible history of the United States. Most of them are difficult to find in school history books. As an immigrant naturalized American, I believe that no events in the history of any country should be ignored, supplanted, or deleted. The more history we know the better we will be able to move forward into the future. History builds the conditions of any country."" - ARS AMAZON REVIEW, FIVE STARS: ""The Quotable Robert E. Lee reveals the man's thoughts from many angles. This book isn't a rant against Northern injustice - though there are passages that offer insight aplenty into that topic. This is as much as anything the revelation of a man through his own words. The fact that he comes out looking better than his detractors would have you think of him - well that's just a bonus, I guess. Besides a look, via the man's own words, into Lee's perspectives on North vs. South in all its facets, this collection offers insight into all angles of the man. Even his comments on topics you'd expect a book like this to address are surprises - for some. Lee was an abolitionist ultimately, and was not a white racist. He was a talented general, but he did not relish war. The wicked General Sherman he most certainly wasn't. But beyond all these topics (and the contrary-to-expectations views they express) are reflections on such things as religion. He also speaks on the natural world, whose beauty he adored. And there are plenty of excerpts from his writings that share other personal thoughts and feelings. The quotes, long and short, come from a variety of sources, including letters, speeches and other writings. So it's a broad range of original materials from Lee's pen, covering a diverse, thought oft-related, array of topics. This read is a lovely insight into the man. For the rest of this write up on Robert, check out Amazon's listing for The Old Rebel, also compiled and edited by Seabrook. My review of that book continues this train of thought."" - KRISTOFER UPJOHN"

An excellent book about an excellent man. - GLORIA PEOPLES ELAM.
