Summary "Lee and Longstreet at High Tide: Gettysburg in the Light of the Official Records" by Helen D. Longstreet is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War, particularly examining General James Longstreet's role and the ensuing controversies surrounding his decisions. Through official records and personal letters, the author aims to clarify the common criticisms directed at Longstreet, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of his contributions during the battle. The opening of the book introduces the intent behind the writing, as it seeks to honor Longstreet's memory by presenting an accurate portrayal of his actions at Gettysburg. It explains that Longstreet's personal memoirs are used alongside official documents, allowing the reader to understand the charges against him regarding disobedience of orders and the failure of certain military strategies. The first chapter outlines the background of the events leading to the battle and establishes the anticipated military maneuvers, setting the stage for a detailed analysis of Longstreet’s decisions and actions in the face of the critical historical moment.
