THE CAMPAIGN AND BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG
by Colonel G J Fiebeger

Originally a study written especially for use at the West Point Military Academy, this book includes extracts from the contemporary reports by the commanders. The Battle of Gettysburg (July 1 to July 3, 1863) was the battle with the largest number of casualties in the American Civil War and is frequently cited as the war's turning point. Union Major General George Gordon Meade's Army of the Potomac defeated attacks by Confederate General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, ending Lee's invasion of the North.

THE CIVIL WAR – A NARRATIVE: VOLUME 1, FORT SUMTER TO PERRYVILLE
by Shelby Foote

The first of Shelby Foote's classic three volume epic on the American Civil War. Here begins one of the most remarkable works of history ever fashioned. All the great battles are here, from Bull Run through Shiloh, the Seven Days, Second Manassas to Antietam and Perryville in the fall of 1862, but so are the smaller and often equally-important engagements: Ball's Bluff, Fort Donelson, Pea Ridge, Island Ten, New Orleans, Monitor versus Merimac, and Stonewall Jackson's Valley Campaign. Never before have these conflicts been so clearly and dramatically presented.

THE CIVIL WAR – A NARRATIVE: VOLUME 2, FREDERICKSBURG TO MERIDIAN
by Shelby Foote

The second of Shelby Foote's classic three volume epic on the American Civil War. For the fourth time, the Army of the Potomac (now under the control of Burnside) attempts to take Richmond, resulting in the blood-bath at Fredericksburg. Hooker tries again, only to be repulsed at Chancellorsville as Stonewall Jackson turns his flank - a bitter victory for the South, paid for by the death of Lee's foremost lieutenant. The three-day conflict at Gettysburg receives masterly treatment of a key great battle, not as legend has it but as it really was.
