Inhaltsangabe

One of the bloodiest conflicts ever to be fought on American soil, the Battle of Gettysburg is considered the turning point in the Civil War, destroying as it did the Confederate leaders' offensive strategy and forcing them instead into a defensive war fought in their own territory. This gripping narrative history, drawing upon primary sources and brimming with rare illustrations and informative maps, catapults you behind the lines of this three-day action. From the strategic reasons behind Lee's invasion of the North, to the desperate fight for Little Round Top, to the culminating tragedy of Pickett's Charge--in which grossly outnumbered Confederate troops withstood a blistering barrage of artillery and musket fire before finally being repulsed--every aspect, every military rationale, every personality is explored. A must for Civil War buffs, this compelling and original account sheds new light on the battle that changed American history forever. 7 1/2 X 8 7/8. All in Color
