Why read it?
1 author picked Gettysburg as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A lot has been written about the Battle of Gettysburg’s decisive third day, but I find myself returning again and again to Jeffry Wert’s book.
Wert is a brilliant writer and story-teller, providing readers with enough tactical military history to understand the movements of both armies, but not too much that readers get lost in the shuffle. The result is a great, lucid read about the battle’s dramatic finale.
From Cooper's list on the Gettysburg Campaign.
