Аннотация к книге "Облака славы. Жизнь и легенда Роберта Э. Ли - Майкл Корда", которую можно читать онлайн бесплатно без регистрации
Майкл Корда предлагает блестящую биографию Роберта Э. Ли, первое крупное исследование за целое поколение.
Генерал Ли был выдающимся американским полководцем, таким же спокойным, достойным и властным в поражении, как и в победе. За 150 лет, прошедших после Гражданской войны, репутация Ли только возросла, и Корда с потрясающими подробностями описывает все сражения Ли и прослеживает, как великий человек приобрел неоспоримую репутацию по обе стороны линии Мейсон-Диксон, окончательно превратившись в символического героя-мученика Южного дела.
Майкл Корда - автор книг «Улисс С. Грант», «Айк, герой» и «Очарованная жизнь». Он принимал участие в Венгерской революции 1956 года и в пятидесятую годовщину этой революции был награжден орденом «За заслуги перед Венгерской Народной Республикой».
