The deep rifts that drove America apart during the Civil War were never more deeply felt than in the person of Robert E. Lee. One of the nation's greatest military minds, Lee was torn between his allegiance to his country and to his home state of Virginia. Lee's ability to meet the North's superior resources with his ingenuity and instinct has fascinated military strategists for more than a century, just as his nobility in defeat earned him the respect of his peers in the time of the nation's renewal.
