one of our resident Longstreet scholars can't comment better on  that.  I do,

of the battle have, while not ignoring some of his  questionable actions 
during the batle, at least gotten past casting him as  the villain of the 
piece.

Evening all,
 
While it is not a recent book, Jeff Wert's bio. on Pete  is something to 
read.  Has been a while since I read it, but IIRC, it was a  fair and balanced 
look at Longstreet.  Like I said, just my 2  cents.
 
Hope all are well.
