An excellent analysis of the battle of Gettysburg from the Union Side . This book was strong because it stuck to its topic. A lot of civil war battle books are simply a stringing together of good ole boy stories with a loose overall narrative. Not this work , it sticks to Meade and his POV . The pre and post battle were covered with new (2021) well researched insights . I especially liked the research into the supply of the army of the Potomac and Meads’ strategy going into Gettysburg .
If you are a big fan of the genre you will also find fascinating the author directly calling out some prominent civil war writers on poor Gettysburg and Meade research .
