...would be a mutual agreement," said he, "covering such matters as the treatment of prisoners, the bombing of open towns, and the use of the Red Cross emblem." Il Duce's eyes flashed. "Italy does not admit," he roared, "that she has been carrying on the war other than in the most humanitarian way possible-under the circumstances."

By afternoon, when he finally moved, the Union left had been reinforced and it was too late. Biographers Eckenrode and Conrad reluctantly absolve Longstreet, reluctantly admit that over-polite Lee did not order an early attack, simply suggested it. When it was reported to Longstreet that a slight shift in direction would flank the enemy, which was Lee's intention, Longstreet stubbornly refused, insisted on carrying out Lee's obviously mistaken orders...
