One of the most important, and controversial, Confederate generals during the Civil War was Lieutenant General James Longstreet, Robert E. Lees old warhorse. Longstreet was Lees principal subordinate for most of the war, ably managing a corps in the Army of Northern Virginia. Longstreet was instrumental in Confederate victories at Second Bull Run, Fredericksburg, and Chickamauga, while he was also effective at Antietam and the Battle of the Wilderness, where he was nearly killed by a shot thr...

General James Longstreet was one of the Confederate's most fearsome, and controversial commanders. His memoirs, From Manassas to Appomattox, are a must-read for anyone interested in the Civil War.

Before reading his book I knew a lot about Longstreet, but he remained a rather amorphous figure. Now I feel I know the man somewhat better. It should be understood that Longstreet wrote these memoirs in defense of his reputation, which was under attack by Jubal Early, FitzHugh Lee, and others in an attempt to shift blame from the deceased Robert E. Lee.As a result Longstreet is argumentative and abrupt in his rebuttals. (And the way he writes, one gets the feeling that he ALWAYS w...

Two buddies, theatre artists and long-time friends Marcus and James, sit at a table and pass the time together playing a made-up game in which they name people, places, or things – Pamela Anderson, microwave ovens, their fathers, Goldman Sachs – and debate whether they are successful or not; in other words, whether they are winners or losers. Each friend seeks to defeat the other, and because one of these men grew up economically privileged, and the other did not, the competition very quic...

Before the Allies could storm the beaches of Normandy, they had to win a shadow war of pure imagination. The greatest weapon deployed in the weeks leading up to D-Day was not made of steel or explosives, but of rubber, canvas, and meticulously crafted lies. Operation Fortitude was a massive, unprecedented counterintelligence campaign designed to convince the German High Command that the main invasion force would strike at Pas de Calais. To sell this illusion, the Allies conjured an entirel...
