Description:

Providing an extensive documentation of the most infamous chapter of the American Civil War, this magisterial resource has been acclaimed as the most comprehensive and definitive work on the battle of Gettysburg. After a prologue describing the Union defeat at Chancellorsville and the death of the Confederates' greatest general, "Stonewall" Jackson, this essential guide continues with the orders of battle—detailing diagrammatic form, unit strengths, commanders down to regimental and battery level, and casualties for all of the units engaged. From detailing the military and political command and control on both sides, the campaign leading up to the battle, the actual engagement, and decisive "highlights" such as the defense of Little Round Top and Pickett's Charge, this remarkable resource is a superbly illustrated and well-researched presentation that will engage and inform those intrigued by one of the most pivotal and revolutionary events in American history.
