Product Information

A comprehensive history of the Battle of Gettysburg by one of today's leading historians. The greatest of all Civil War campaigns, Gettysburg was the turning point of the turning point in our nation's history. Volumes have been written about this momentous three-day battle, but recent histories have tended to focus on the particulars rather than the big picture: on the generals or on single days of battle--even on single charges--or on the daily lives of the soldiers. In Gettysburg, Sears tells the whole story in a single volume. From the first gleam in Lee's eye to the last Rebel hightailing it back across the Potomac, every moment of the battle is brought to life with the vivid narrative skill and impeccable scholarship that has made Stephen Sears's histories so successful. Based on years of research, this is the first book in a generation that brings everything together, sorts it all out, makes informed judgments, and takes stands. Even the most knowledgeable of Civil War buffs will find fascinating new material and new interpretations, and Sears's famously accessible style will make the book just as appealing to the general reader.

Reviews
"An outstanding battle study...This book...is absolutely indispensable for the well-versed." Publishers Weekly "A fine study, detailed and challenging, that complements such popular accounts of the battle as Bruce Catton's Glory Road and Shelby Foote's The Stars in Their Courses." Kirkus Reviews "The book's strength is the consistent and striking characterizations of the many generals and commanding officers involved in the battle." Library Journal "Readers thrilled by the minute details of battlefield maneuvers will be thoroughly engaged." Booklist, ALA "Sears does much more than reconstruct events. He gives battlefield maneuvers deeper meaning and purpose because of his deep appreciation for context and the human dimension of history." --Peter Carmichael, American History Magazine "[Sears gives] us a panoramic view, and in his vivid portrayal the day unfolds in all its horrible detail." --Jay Winik The New York Times Book Review "A first-class writer and splendid historian--a combination to be cherished--gives us the best book on America's most famous battle." The Wall Street Journal, "A first-class writer and splendid historian--a combination to be cherished--gives us the best book on America's most famous battle." The Wall Street Journal, A first-class writer and splendid historian--a combination to be cherished--gives us the best book on America's most famous battle.

    ANOTHER Gettysburg Book?

    While yet another book on Gettysburg might seem redundent after the excellent studies by Coddington, Pfanz etc, Sears does add new life to the story of the greatest battle ever fought on the North American continent and of the Civil War. Sears brings great readability. In the vein of the great storytellers like Bruce Catton, Sears spins a great story with what the common soldier felt. On the heels of his amazing Chancellorsville book as well as other battles and leaders books, Sears has proven himself a worthy addition to the shelf og first rate Gettysburg books...not an easy task!

    Good overview with many omissions

    This book is fine for as far as it goes. There were many battles with a battle that the author never deals with. His maps are very general but lack showing regiment positions in the kind of detail I have seen elsewhere. His total lack of dealing with the sharpshooters on both sides is a glaring omission given the huge part they played at Gettysburg.

    Fantastic Author

    I will confess that I have not read this book yet. I bought it because Sears is an incredible author. His books on The Seven Days battles and Antietam are must reads.

    Fantastic book

    A comprehensive study on Gettysburg. Found the unit my Dad used to reenact. Gives a list of units not only great for historians but also Genology. Only writing to whom gave the book to who. Better than expected
