Longstreet at Gettysburg

Not until now has a book-length, critical analysis of Lieutenant General James Longstreets actions at the Battle of Gettysburg been presented, tracing his deeds, accomplishments, and shortcomings from pre-campaign through all three days of the fight, while also seeking to deliver an incisive historiographical inquiry into how many historians have inaccurately portrayed and misrepresented Longstreets performance. A frank response to historys challenge for a penetrating analysis of Longstreets actions at Gettysburg, this book endeavors to set the record straight about Longstreets performance, while exposing over a centurys worth of partial ideological ventures made by many scholars.
