Gettysburg by Hugh Bicheno
Hugh Bicheno's compelling and original account is an important re-examination of the bloodiest battle ever fought on North American soil. With meticulous attention to detail, the author clearly and concisely revisits every aspect of the battle, from the strategic reasons for Lee's invasion of the North to the desperate fight for Little Round Top and the culminating tragedy of Pickett's Charge. The result is, in the words of the "Fields of Battle" series editor Professor Richard Holmes, 'a seriously good book, by far the best thing written on the subject to date.'
Hugh Bicheno has had careers as an academic, an intelligence officer and a freelance kidnap and ransom negotiator. After twenty-five years in the Americas, during which time he visited most of the Independence and Civil War battlefields, he now lives in Cambridge and is devoted to writing about men at war.
