From Manassas to Appomattox is a civil war personal memoir unlike any other: a confederate general autobiography by James Longstreet, the hard-fighting lieutenant of Robert E. Lee. Longstreet remembers it all vividly. From the first clash at Manassas to the final days at Appomattox, he recounts american civil war battles and the great army of northern virginia campaigns with the cool eye of a strategist and the ache of a survivor. His narrative moves between battlefield decisions, camp-life observation and sober judgement on the leaders and policies that shaped the american civil war 1861-1865. As a military history classic book, these pages offer rare confederate military strategy insights and an insider perspective on southern confederate states history, essential for civil war buffs and a rigorous military history students resource. Longstreet writes as a soldier first, weighing terrain, timing and command, yet he never loses sight of the human cost. Readers of the ulysses s grant memoirs and robert e lee biography readers alike will find a powerful counterpart here: reflective, detailed, and unafraid of controversy, illuminating both the strengths and the failures of the Confederate high command. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
