Not until now has a book-length, critical analysis of Lieutenant General James Longstreet’s 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 Longstreet’s performance. A frank response to history’s challenge for a penetrating analysis of Longstreet’s actions at Gettysburg, this book endeavors to set the record straight about Longstreet’s performance, while exposing over a century’s worth of partial ideological ventures made by many scholars.
