To read From Manassas to Appomattox is to traverse some of the most fought-over and hallowed ground in American history. Second-in-command to General Robert E. Lee, James Longstreet offers a unique insider’s account of the operations of the Army of Northern Virginia. His memoirs also provide a broad perspective on the Civil War and the soldiers who fought in it.
