Peer through history at Confederate Lieutenant General James
Longstreet, whose steady nature and dominating figure earned him
the nicknames "War Horse," "Bulldog," and "Bull of the Woods."
Years after the war, Longstreet's reputation swung between
Confederate hero and brutish scoundrel. A dutiful soldier with a
penchant for drink and gambling, Longstreet spoke little but
inspired many, and he continues to fascinate Civil war historians.
In his memoir From Manassas to Appomattox, Longstreet reveals his
inner musings and insights regarding the War between the States.
Ever the soldier, he skims over his personal life to focus on
battle strategies, war accounts, and opinions regarding other
officers who were as misunderstood as him. The principle
subordinate under General Robert E. Lee, Longstreet provides
several accounts of Lee's leadership and their strong partnership.
An invaluable firsthand account of life during the Civil War, From
Manassas to Appomattox not only illuminates the life and ambitions
of Lieutenant General James Longstreet, but it also offers an
in-depth view of army operations within the Confederacy. An
introduction and notes by prominent historian James I. Robertson
Jr. and a new foreword by Christian Keller offer insight into the
impact of Longstreet's career on American history.
The story of the unique relationship between Lee and Jackson, two
leaders who chiseled a strategic path forward against the odds and
almost triumphed. Why were Generals Lee and Jackson so successful
in their partner- ship in trying to win the war for the South? What
was it about their styles, friendship, even their faith, that
cemented them together into a fighting machine that consistently
won despite often overwhelming odds against them? The Great
Partnership has the power to change how we think about Confederate
strategic decision-making and the value of personal relationships
among senior leaders responsible for organizational survival. Those
relationships in the Confederate high command were particularly
critical for victory, especially the one that existed between the
two great Army of Northern Virginia generals. It has been over two
decades since any author attempted a joint study of the two
generals. At the very least, the book will inspire a very lively
debate among the thousands of students of Civil War his- tory. At
best, it will significantly revise how we evaluate Confederate
strategy during the height the war and our understanding of why, in
the end, the South lost.
