Description

No Civil War military campaign has inspired as much controversy about leadership as has Gettysburg. Because it was once a defining event for both the Army of the Potomac and the Army of Northern Virginia, the debates started almost in an instant after the battle, and so they continue today.

Three Days at Gettysburg comprises essays from noted Civil War historians on leadership all over the battle. The contributors to this volume consider there is room for scholarship that revisits the sources on which earlier accounts have been based and challenges prevailing interpretations of key officers’ performances. They have got trained their investigative lens on some obvious and a few fairly neglected figures, with an eye toward illuminating not only what happened at Gettysburg but also the nature of command at different levels.
