Robert E. Lee and Me
A Southerner's Reckoning with the Myth of the Lost Cause
Ty Seidule
The book confronts and dismantles the romanticized narrative of the Confederacy and its leaders, particularly Robert E. Lee, challenging the "Lost Cause" mythology that has long pervaded Southern culture. It weaves personal memoir with historical analysis, as the author, a former Southern military officer, grapples with his own upbringing and the region's fraught history of slavery, racism, and Civil War memory.
