Mortally wounded in battle when he was only 31, the dashing J. E. B. Stuart, the South's "plumed warrior knight", stands with Stonewall Jackson as one of the Confederacy's most revered martyrs. Union General John Sedgwick called him "the greatest cavalryman ever foaled in America". Jeffry D. Wert, however, offers a more balanced assessment in this comprehensive biography.

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Wert...adds to his status as a top-ranking Civil War scholar in this excellent biography of the Confederacy's best-known cavalry general." (Publishers Weekly)
"Impressively researched and masterfully written" (Library Journal)

A book filled with detail reading of reports isn't a book
And just reciting sayings from other books doesn't help
Not to much original material
Could have been much better

Average book

But just barely better. Horrific narration and in my opinion poorly written. Honestly it sounded like someone accumlated a bunch of facts about Stuart and listed them in sequence; it just was not well written and the narration did nothing to rescue it.

Better than a root canal

I've read a lot of biographies, and this is one of the best written ones I have come across. It's not so much a history, as it is an epic narrative of Jeb Stewart, and one of the best out there

completely engrossing

Madison Culpeper battles are the best documentary I've ever heard in all audio books

His fearlessness in battle moved me.

Great story but too much detail. Felt it was more of a good college history text. Narrator has great voice but little excitement. Sounded like it was being read. Perhaps my greatest complaint would be the story details without the entire war’s perspective that lead up to that respective battle.

Great Story - Lacked Excitement
