Gettysburg Unknown - 2003

Información de la editorial

The greatest of all Civil War campaigns, Gettysburg was the turning point in our nation's history. Volumes have been written about the momentous three-day battle, but recent histories have tended to focus on the particulars rather than the big picture: on the generals, or on the daily lives of soldiers. In Gettysburg, Sears tells the whole story in a single volume. Every moment is exquisitely rendered--from the events leading up to the battle, to the battle itself, and its after affects--and brought to life with the vivid narrative skill and impeccable scholarship that has made Stephen Sear's other histories so successful. Based on years of research, this is the first book in a generation that brings everything together, fleshes it all out, makes informed judgements, and takes stands. Even the most knowledgeable of Civil War buffs will find fascinating new material and new interpretations of the war within this work. Sear's famously accessible style will make the book just as appealing to the general reader. In short, this is the one book on Gettysburg that anyone with even the slightest interest in the Civil War should own.
