Witness to Gettysburg: Inside the Battle That Changed the Course of the Civil War (Stackpole Military History Series) - Softcover
From the events that led to the clash at Gettysburg in July 1863 to the retreat of Robert E. Lee's defeated Confederates, Richard Wheeler uses the words of participants--both Northern and Southern--to bring one of the Civil War's bloodiest, most pivotal battles to life. Wheeler blends these compelling personal accounts into a startlingly vivid tapestry of war and a dramatic narrative that entertains as well as informs. This is eyewitness history at its best.

From the Inside Flap:
"With a sure grasp of strategic nuances, [Wheeler] explains the overall campaign that began in the broadest sense when Lee talked Confederate President Davis into authorizing a second invasion of the North. The climactic battle itself is then described in a you-are-there way that renders this enormously complicated affair understandable to non-Civil War buffs." --Publishers Weekly

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. In the summer of 1863, the gray tide of Robert E. Lee's Confederate army swept north in a grand offensive to end the war. Union forces under new commander George Meade pursued, and amid the rolling hills and green fields of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the two sides clashed in one of the Civil War's most pivotal battles. Combining eyewitness accounts with dramatic narration, Richard Wheeler relates these events as they unfolded, from Lee's strategic planning to Meade's failure to deliver a deathblow to the battered Rebels. The result is a startlingly vivid tapestry of war that brings the battle of Gettysburg to life. Seller Inventory # 000089
