About this audiobook
Few voices from the American Civil War speak from as close to the center of command as that of Lieutenant General James Longstreet. A trusted subordinate of Robert E. Lee and one of the Confederacy’s most capable corps commanders, Longstreet witnessed the war not from the distant perspective of memory alone, but from the saddle, the staff tent, and the councils where strategy was shaped and lives were weighed against decisions.
From Manassas to Appomattox, first published in 1896, is more than a soldier’s recollection. It is a defense, a reflection, and at times a quiet argument with history itself. Writing in the decades after the guns fell silent, Longstreet sought to record how campaigns unfolded as he saw them, to explain the reasoning behind controversial choices, and to respond to critics who, in the postwar years, placed heavy blame upon his shoulders—especially for the outcome at Gettysburg.
