This is as close as we will come to an unbiased perspective of the Confederacy. Critical portraits of everyone from Lee on down. Some strategic thinking about the war over all. Written in a very easy to read style. I highly recommend it.
What I enjoyed most about this book were the easy style that revealed the personality of the author and the personal reminisces that revealed the personalities of the protagonists of the story. No other civil war history i have read so captures the spirit and emotion of the war.
Terrific memoir of a respected middle-ranking officer of the Army of Northern Virginia. Colonel Alexander has produced a good story, relatively balanced, of what he experienced, which was the battles of the Army of Northern Virginia, and Longstreet's excursion to the West for Chickamauga and Knoxville. He does tend to inflate (or maybe not!) Confederate successes. There are times where later scholarship revised his account. Nonetheless, it is a required read for a serious student of the American Civil War.… (meer)

Alexander wrote two books: a personal memoir intended for his children, which remained unnoticed until 1989, when it was published to enormous critical acclaim as Fighting for the Confederacy; and this book, Military Memoirs of a Confederate, which was first published in 1907 and immediately recognized as a classic. Unlike Fighting for the Confederacy, which was based largely on Alexander's own recollections, Military Memoirs relies on a vast amount of research. It is undoubtedly the most accurate and most important firsthand general history of the Civil War.… (meer)
