Book
of
the
Year**The
Battle
of
Gettysburg
has
been
written
about
at
length
and
thoroughly
dissected
in
terms
of
strategic
importance,
but
never
before
has
a
book
taken
readers
so
close
to
the
experience
of
the
individual
soldier.Two-time
Lincoln
Prize
winner
Allen
C.
Guelzo
shows
us
the
face,
the
sights
and
the
sounds
of
nineteenth-century
combat:
the
stone
walls
and
gunpowder
clouds
of
Pickett’s
Charge;
the
reason
that
the
Army
of
Northern
Virginia
could
be
smelled
before
it
could
be
seen;
the
march
of
thousands
of
men
from
the
banks
of
the
Rappahannock
in
Virginia
to
the
Pennsylvania
hills.
What
emerges
is
a
previously
untold
story
of
army
life
in
the
Civil
War:
from
the
personal
politics
roiling
the
Union
and
Confederate
officer
ranks,
to
the
peculiar
character
of
artillery
units.
Through
such
scrutiny,
one
of
history’s
epic
battles
is
given
extraordinarily
vivid
new life.
