In Quest of Manhood: A personal remembrance of the birth and development of raw courage in our hearts as we fought our nation's enemies on the battlefields in World War II.

This book provides some insights into how Lee developed his understanding of people, and his appreciation of the best that human beings can be, in the midst of the worst that we do to each other. In this book, he tells how he experienced intimate exposure to the threat of death on the battlefield, spent six months starving as a German P.O.W. escaped under stressful conditions, found his way back to friendly forces, returned to his home, and got married to a loving woman who has made his life whole again. He deplores the negatives in his wartime experiences; but he was impressed with the basic strength of his fellow warriors and then his fellow captives. 'People are amazing' he says. I'm sure you'll agree.
