Gettysburg / Stephen W. Sears.

Sears, Stephen W. (Author).

Summary:
Drawing on original source material, from soldiers' letters to the Official Records of the war, Sears offers dramatic and informed accounts of every aspect of the campaign, from well-known portraits of the battle's leaders to detailed analyses of their strategies and tactics. Sears depicts General Meade's remarkable performance in his first week of army command and pinpoints General Lee's responsibility in the agonizing failure of the Confederater army. Sears brings the epic tale of the battle in Pennsylvania vividly to life.
