Manassas to AppomattoxBy woosterBlow by blow description of Civil War battles...told by General Lee's chief strategist; General Longstreet...who was there from start to finish.I downloaded the (free) Kindle version of this book. This version does not come with maps or illustrations; so there's no way to visualize the complicated battle scenes that he describes and it gets very confusing.Each page of this book is loaded with names of the battle adversaries but not their affiliations. So; unless you're a hard core Civil War buff (and already know who all these Generals are); it's hard to tell whether they are Union or Confederate. Again; very confusing.I had to put the book down after about 30% and never finished it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The Commanders are There but the Battles are Hard to FollowBy Duane TwayGeneral Longstreet was; perhaps; the Conferacy's finest General but he's not its best author. He identifies the units; at some great length; by their commanders; without reference to whether they are Union or Confederate. The battles are hard to follow without a contemporary map.I downloaded the book because since early in High School; I've been reading about the Civil War. It helped that my father was the head of the Military History Course Sequence at the Air Force Academy; so we had a house full of military history books. I'm afraid that someone; who is not already up to speed on the Civil War; will have difficulty with this book.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. How can you beat this?By CustomerLongstreet's memoir provides an excellent view of the civil war from the standpoint of possibly the south's greatest general. Includes humorous vignettes associated with both the North and South sides. No photos or maps; but this edition is typographically flawless; which is not true for the other version that I purchased first.
