Gettysburg 1863: Battles in Focus

Front Cover
Casemate Publishers, 2003 - History - 128 pages
More words have been written about this battle than almost any other, perhaps with the exception of Waterloo but here, as with other titles in this series, a mid-length study of 50,000 words is provided, with pertinent illustrations and maps, at a price to suit all readers - historians, researchers, students and battlefield visitors.

Following the style of the series, the reader will find details of the generals and their officers, the weapons and equipment and the day-by-day, hour-by-hour account of the action.

The author is a noted writer on Civil War topics; his Civil War Source Book has been popular for many years. His Brassey's Almanac: The American Civil War was just published this Spring.
