Title: AN ESSAY ON FALSEHOODS
Product review: In all my studies of Longstreet and, indeed, the war itself, I have never run across a more complete essay on flasehoods. There is little doubt as to why there are no footnotes, the book is not based upon fact. It is purely a work of fiction at its worst. It is a character assasination of James Longstreet and certainly not worth the time required to read. I found no redeeming qualities whatsoever in this compilation of half-truths, inuendos and outright lies based solely upon an agenda to rake a historical name through the muck and an attempt to shift all the blame for Gettysburg, indeed the entire war, onto Longstreet. If you wish to read about general Longstreet, I suggest your time be better spent elsewhere.
