Sobre la batalla de Gettysburg se ha escrito en abundancia y se la ha diseccionado a conciencia en cuanto a su importancia estratégica, pero nunca antes libro alguno había aproximado tanto a los lectores a la experiencia individual de los soldados como este, ganador del Guggenheim-Lehrman Prize en Historia Militar, elegido Mejor Libro del Año por The Economist y Libro del Año de no-ficción por Kirkus Reviews. En Gettysburg, el dos veces ganador del Lincoln Prize, Allen C. Guelzo, nos revela el rostro, las imágenes y los sonidos del combate en el siglo XIX: los muros de piedra y las nubes de pólvora de la Carga de Pickett; la marcha de miles de hombres desde las orilla del Rappahannock, en Virginia, hasta las colinas de Pensilvania… De todo ello brota un relato jamás contado acerca de la vida en los ejércitos de la Guerra de Secesión, desde las divisiones políticas que agitaban las filas de la oficialidad unionista y confederada hasta el carácter particular de las unidades de artillería. Tan exhaustivo análisis confiere una extraordinaria y renovada viveza a una de las batallas más épicas de la historia.

Work Description

From the acclaimed Civil War historian, a brilliant 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 battle of the Civil War, and one of the greatest 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.
