Title: Robert E. Lee as Ho Chi Minh?
Review: It stinks. The first half is a "what if?" What if, instead of surrendering at Appomattox, Lee had taken to the hills and set up a guerrilla army? Winik likens this to the Viet Cong. He ignores that Lee's army is starving, exhausted, and just wants to go home. Winik uses sports write throughout. "Unlike a Washington, or a Jefferson...." I finally gave up when he misquoted Stanton's great comment on Lincoln's death, "now he belongs to the ages," as "now he belongs to the angels."
