Undoomed Warrior : The Strange Case of Robert Lee and the Gettysburg Campaign
Bok av John Ellsworth Winter
Robert E. Lee realized in September 1862 the South could not win the war. He recommended that President Jefferson Davis send a peace proposal to the North. Davis refused. In May 1863, Lee again proposed to proclaim peace. The accidental battle at Gettysburg interfered with Lee's "wisest, grandest, most imposing" plan.
