As in Tucker’s past works, the value of this careful study lies in his focus on the human element – the play of personalities and character. The author notes, “The conduct of an operation in this as in other battles depended not on what insignia was on a man’s uniform but on what resolution was in his heart.” Mr. Tucker provides a fresh understanding of Lee, the man and the general, through recorded narratives and interviews with participants in the battle, 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; newly-wed 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.
