Title Description
James "Old Pete" Longstreet, Lee's warhorse, opposed the stand at Gettysburg and -- with the irony of unintended consequences -- took the heat for the Confederate loss. The question remains: did he or did he not lose the battle that broke the South's back?

Jeffrey Wert, an acclaimed historian of the Civil War, and author of the well-regarded Mosby's Rangers, establishes Longstreet as the best corps commander on either side of the Civil War. He also shows how Longstreet's postwar reconciliation with the Union brought down Southern contempt and stoked the controversy that surrounded him till his death.

"The most comprehensive biography to date of 'Old Pete'." (Publishers Weekly)
