From the acclaimed Civil War historian, a new history--the most intimate and richly readable account we have had--of the climactic three-day battle of Gettysburg (July 1-3, 1863), which draws the reader into the heat, smoke, and grime of Gettysburg alongside the ordinary soldier, and depicts the combination of personalities and circumstances that produced one of the greatest battles in human history. No previous book on Gettysburg dives down so closely to the experience of the individual soldier, or looks so closely at the sway of politics over military decisions, or places the battle so firmly in the context of nineteenth-century military practice.--From publisher description.

Reading Allen Guelzo's book, 'Gettysburg: The Last Invasion' is one of the best adventures I've ever experienced when reading! Ok, I am a Civil War amateur historian but this book is something I would have written if I hadn't been so interested in physics, chemistry and math.
Highly recommend and intricate to every beautiful detail with background to boot, I really love this book and you should read it asap!

map problem
I usually have no problem with ARCs--but in this case there were SERIOUS editing problems; apart from some sentences that made no sense--the maps were all terrible (misplaced, confusing,...).
However the book is very good--and would recommend it in its final edited form.
