Title: Many reasons for the Gettysburg loss
Review: This book is an overview of Longstreet's life before, during and after the war. It contains very detailed descriptions of what happened during battles of the civil war in which Longstreet was involved. It covers many areas of the battle of Gettysburg in which mistakes were make by the Confederates, and how some things just worked against them. All in all, it denies that the battle was lost solely because of the delays of Longstreet, instead it was a combination of the mistakes of many generals/soldiers that lead to the loss. Longstreet was blamed by many Confederates after the war because of his affiliation with the Republican party, which many Southerners scorned because it represented the Northern government and politics. Longstreet was Lee's "Old War Horse" until the surrender at Appomattox.
