Longstreet's Assault-Pickett's Charge

by Donald J. Frey

"Since July 1863, survivors, historians, and Civil War enthusiasts have debated, written about, and dissected Robert E. Lee's defeat at Gettysburg. Myriad controversies concerning the conduct of the campaign and battle have provided fodder for discussion. Many disputants ignore consistent facts that refute their point of view. Longstreet's Assault - Pickett's Charge offers a narrative based on a review of the decisions made by the commanders on both sides."--BOOK JACKET.
