From the acclaimed Civil War historian, a brilliant new history--the most intimate and richly readable account we have had--of the climactic three-day battle of Gettysburg (July 1-3, 1863), which draws the reader into the heat, smoke, and grime of Gettysburg alongside the ordinary soldier, and depicts the combination of personalities and circumstances that produced one of the greatest battle of the Civil War, and one of the greatest in human history. No previous book on Gettysburg dives down so closely to the experience of the individual soldier, or looks so closely at the sway of politics over military decisions, or places the battle so firmly in the context of nineteenth-century military practice. --From publisher description.

Book Details

Table of Contents

pt. 1. The march up
People who will not give in
There were never such men in an army before
This campaign is going to end this show
A perfectly surplus body of men
Victory will inevitably attend our arms
A goggle-eyed old snapping turtle
A universal panic prevails
You will have to fight like the devil to hold your own
pt. 2. The first day
The devil's to pay
You stand alone, between the Rebel Army and your homes!
The dutch run and leave us to fight
Go in, South Carolina
If the enemy is there to-morrow, we must attack him
pt. 3. The second day
One of the bigger bubbles of the scum
You are to hold this ground at all costs
I have never been in a hotter place
The supreme moment of the war had come
Remember Harper's Ferry
We are the Louisiana Tigers!
Let us have no more retreats
pt. 4. The third day
The general plan of attack was unchanged
Are you going to do your duty today?
The shadow of a cloud across a sunny field
As clear a defeat as our army ever met with
There is bad faith somewhere
To sweep and plunder the battle grounds.
