Robert E. Lee book recommendations?

Currently reading Bloody Roads South by Noah Andre Trudeau, which is on loan to me from a co-worker. Really starting to get into reading as of late - my wife has been pushing me to try and read a book a month for years. This is now my 8th book since August.
Anyway, what is the best book on Robert E. Lee, in your opinion that is lacking in all the frim-fram and modern day social/political revisionist history of his cause? A bunch of people are asking my wife what to get me for Christmas, and I want a nice, hardcover book on the Confederate General. Just seems like it'd be a fun and interesting read on a very enthralling person.
Thank you in advance and happy holidays to all.

My favorite is the abridged version of Douglas Southall Freeman's classic 4-volume series.

Have you read anything by Shelby Foote? He may have written a Lee Biography. He’s one of the great Civil War historians from the South.
Go watch any of his interviews on YouTube and you won’t want to read anymore, you’ll just want to listen to him.

I liked “The Man Who Would Not Be Washington”
