Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In a war of brother versus brother, theirs has become the most famous broken friendship: Union general Winfield Scott Hancock and Confederate general Lewis Armistead. Michael Shaara's The Killer Angels (1974) and the movie Gettysburg (1993), based on the novel, presented a close friendship sundered by war, but history reveals something different from the legend that holds up Hancock and Armistead as sentimental symbols of a nation torn apart. In this deeply researched book, Tom McMillan sets the record straight. Even if their relationship wasn't as close as the legend has it, Hancock and Armistead knew each other well before the Civil War. Armistead was seven years older, but in a small prewar army where everyone seemed to know everyone else, Hancock and Armistead crossed paths at a fort in Indian Territory before the Mexican War and then served together in California, becoming friends - and they emotionally parted ways when the Civil War broke out. Their lives wouldn't intersect again until Gettysburg, when they faced each other during Pickett's Charge. Armistead died of his wounds at Gettysburg on July 5, 1863; Hancock went on to be the Democratic nominee for president in 1880, losing to James Garfield. Part dual biography and part Civil War history, Armistead and Hancock: Behind the Gettysburg Legend clarifies the historic record with new information and fresh perspective, reversing decades of misconceptions about an amazing story of two friends that has defined the Civil War.

Pembridge, enhancing the tactical analysis of the raid. While the title itself remains a relatively common fixture on the open market, locating a true first printing in such immaculate, seemingly unread condition is an excellent discovery for the World War II naval collector. The Attack on Taranto delivers a meticulous and thrilling account of the daring British naval operation that permanently altered the course of World War II. In November 1940, a small squadron of obsolete Fairey Swordfish biplanes launched from HMS Illustrious under the cover of darkness, devastating the Italian fleet moored in Taranto harbour and shifting the balance of naval power in the Mediterranean. Co-authored by Dr. Thomas P. Lowry and Commander John W. G. Wellham; a Fleet Air Arm pilot who personally participated in the very raid he describesâ"this narrative blends intense frontline action with sweeping strategic analysis. The authors convincingly demonstrate how this pioneering strike was closely studied by Japanese strategists, ultimately serving as the unmistakable blueprint for the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor a year later.
