A funeral that halted a Southern town sets the stage for one of the most misunderstood lives in American history. We follow James Longstreet from West Point camaraderie with Ulysses S. Grant to the smoke-choked battlefield  of Gettysburg, and then into a second, riskier career: defending Reconstruction, backing Black suffrage, and standing up to paramilitary terror in New Orleans. The journey overturns easy labels and asks a harder question: what does it cost to change your mind in public when your entire community demands you don’t?

This is the unique story of General James Longstreet, Lee’s most trusted battlefield lieutenant, and yet who would spend the rest of his life fighting a different battle not for a cause but for his reputation.
