Robert E. Lee and Me: A Southerner's Reckoning with the Myth of the Lost Cause by Ty Seidule is a memoir-history blending the author's Southern upbringing, U.S. Army career, and West Point teaching with a critical examination of the Confederate hero Robert E. Lee and the pervasive "Lost Cause" narrative. It exposes how this mythology distorted history to glorify white supremacy and slavery, leading Seidule to challenge Lee as a traitor and demand a confrontation with America's racist past.
