| Description:-Gettysburg: The Final Fury by Bruce Catton. An account of the military, political, and human aspects of the Battle of Gettysburg, documented with Civil War photographs and contemporary illustrations. THE BATTLE THAT LOST AND WON A WAR. It was a desperate, bold move. General Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia would invade Pennsylvania! If they were successful the tide would turn for the Confederacy. If they lost—the Union would reign supreme. Win or lose, the cataclysmic battle of Gettysburg would be the turning point of the Civil War. What brought these two great armies to this small Pennsylvania farming town? What was it like to be a foot soldier during Pickett's charge? What went through the minds of the generals who would decide the fate of a nation? Little Round Top, Cemetery Hill, Seminary Ridge… clumps of ground that would become America's greatest battlefield. In this detailed and richly personal account, Bruce Catton, the foremost authority on the American Civil War, presents a total view of the decisive battle of the war. GETTYSBURG. THE FINAL FURY. |
