Sure, why not.
There are plenty of Lee lovers out there with space on their shelves.

I had a friend at uni called Tim Lee. He kept being contacted by the Chinese Soceity – mostly foreign students studying engineering. He kept returning their messages saying that he was not Chinese, he was Tim Lee from Burnley. The messages persisted until, eventually, he went to see them to prove to them that he was not Chinese. They said

"You Lee, Lee Chinese name, you Chinese."

so perhaps another biography is not be a bad idea.

Well, they still write books about Jesus, and they are next to each other on the pedestal.

Wow, the Lee Lover Haters are out in force.

Not one that just goes down the same old Lost Cause road.

Only if it says he killed more Confederates than General Grant!

Writers will write and readers will read what interests them.

People are stubborn that way, and just don't domesticate very well.

Hopefully it will have something different to say. We know Lee already. He was a great man, a great leader, but he was still human and made mistakes like everyone else.

He was an honorable man. I personally don't need to read another book on him.

Incredibly, old books go out of print and new people come into the world.

Need is not the right word. Do we want one? Surely, someone does want it. History evolves over time with interpretation. New historians, new authors, new points of view.
