The author writes the history in the tone of a novel which keeps the reader’s interest level high. He writes the story of the battle from the point of view of General Meade who has to be the most misunderstood figure of the Civil War. There are new interpretations based on evidence and logic. I particularly liked the later part of the book that deals extensively with the days after the battle. The author showed that the Union army was actually in worse shape than the Confederate army and Lee occupied the high ground on the retreat back to Virginia. Really good material and insight. The narrator did an outstanding job. If you want to learn something really knew about Gettysburg, this is your book.
