Call of Duty: The Sterling Nobility of Robert E. Lee (Leaders in Action)

I have read a number of biographies of Robert E. Lee and just recently purchased this one. I think it's a great book, covering all aspects of his life, his leadership, and his faith. It's a smaller-sized book, the binding is strong, and the typeset is dark and easy to read. The author's writing style is engaging, and I sat down and quickly read the first 100 pages.Robert E. Lee was a great man, a better man than any of our current leaders. It's interesting that the overwhelming majority of our previous generations thought very highly of Robert E. Lee, both in the United States and internationally. You wouldn't know that if you just listen to the anarchists and wannabe revolutionaries that are currently telling us what an evil country we live in, and are trying to tear down statues and remove the history of our country's leaders and heroes. But it's a fact: Robert E. Lee was respected and honored by both sides in the Civil War, and for 150 years since. And it's a fact, Confederate soldiers were Americans who fought hard for their states.I don't give a damn if this book was on Michelle Bachman's "book list" as mentioned by a couple of the negative reviewers here, or care what she reads. I don't even like Michelle Bachman.This is a great book about Robert E. Lee, plain and simple.

I have read numerous books on Robert E. Lee and Call of duty rates up there in my top 5. The way the book covers every aspect of the Generals life from birth to death is thorough.Breaking down the chapters by subjects gives the reader an inside look of Lee's thoughts and personality that not many volumes on Him have covered.I know now a days anything to do with the civil war and the confederate side is not popular. If people would take the time to read Call of duty "the sterling nobility of Robert E. Lee" they would se that Lee was a great man and a great american General as all.

This is one of my favorite books. I really like how it focused on General Lee's character. He was a truly great man.

Product was as described - in like new condition. Fast delivery. Would do business with this seller again.

Finally something that makes sense and it's written by a pastor.Poutting Abe declared war on Lee because Lee chose home defense.This is my second copy of this book. I loaned out the first and it never came home.

I liked the presentation from a leadership perspective as opposed to political.

A gift for one of my sons. Lee is in my family tree.

Very interesting. I'm so glad to read the truth about Robert E Lee, especially in today's climate.

This was clearly the worst book I have ever read on any military leader throughout history and on any subject of the Civil War. The author places much of his own skewed views and opinion (not based on facts) with far too much preaching and religious twist. This was my first book and encounter with Robert E Lee and if my opinion were based on exclusively what I read here, I would be of the opinion that Robert E Lee was a two faced, double standard individual who justified many of his actions on religious fervor. From reading this book, it appears that Robert E Lee was in favor of slavery under some conditions, but his fight had nothing whatsoever to do with slavery. If I looked at the leadership of this man from this book alone, I would not see what made him a better leader than anyone else. The author appeared to me to take a stance between an apologetic and justifier of views which may not be readily acceptable now but may have been by some at the time. I expected to see the leadership qualities of this man and how he tackled problems, which I could then apply, but this was not the case. There was very little leadership material in this book. This book was neither a historical biography nor a book on leadership and quite honestly was a complete waste of money. I would not recommend it to anyone and would give it 0 stars if I could.
