What's the best books on the shelves about General Lee?

Also, if you know of any good ones on Gen. Patton, MacArthur, and Westmoreland. I would appreciate those recommendations as well.

“What’s the best books on the shelves about General Lee?”

Honestly, I have never read a book on General Lee. Most of the stuff I quoted are things the writer/historian Shelby Foote said in the Ken Burns documentary, “The Civil War.”

In regards to Macarther....William Manchester’s “American Ceasar.” In regards to Patton.....Martin Blumenson’s, “Patton: The Man Behind the Legend, 1885-1945”
