Lee and Longstreet At Gettysburg by Glenn Tucker

Description

Lee and Longstreet At Gettysburg by Glenn Tucker---Although a used book, it's in good condition, with the exception of a small spot on the dust jacket. (See Pictures)
*****In this book, Mr. Tucker (the Author), provides a fresh understanding of Lee, the man and the general, through recorded narratives and interviews with participants in the battles, reports that are often more spontaneous and enlightening than the "Official Records of the Confederacy".
***The author illuminates the character of Lee's army through its individual leaders---the taciturn Lafayette McLaws; swift talking Jubal Early; newlywed Richard S. Ewell' sickly, red shirted A.P. Hill;  dapper George E. Pickett and others equally fascinating. Yet above them all was the strange interaction of Lee with the rugged fighter, Longstreet, long held in contempt for supposed slowness in meeting Northern action. But might not Lee, as  the author suggests, have been remiss in communicating his invasion plans to his subordinates? The  dramatic and sometimes contradictory behavior of the two Southern generals who dominated the battle is studied with care and candor.
