About this audiobook
Wert's narrative portrait of Stuart-audacious and daring in battle, contentious with his staff and subordinates-is fast-paced and compelling, rich in telling details and human interest stories, yet objective, critical, and complete. Based on the most extensive research yet done utilizing governmental and archival sources, Wert's biography examines Stuart's controversial performance at Gettysburg and elsewhere.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I felt like I'd been on the trail with Stuart after reading this fine account of his exploits. A more exceptional leader is extinct from the land, I dare say.
