5.0

This book provided a thoughtful and perceptive look into a battle that had cost so many lives. It was a fascinating insight to not only what occured during the battle, but a indepth look at how it effected the soldiers that were invloved. The book paints a grizzly view of war especially coming from frist hand accounts of the survivors. It gives the reader a better understanding of the horrors of war, especially with the vivid descriptions of gore and losses. I am left to wonder, if the commanders had a better connection and real time reports would things have gone better?
Overall it was a fascinating book, and kept the reader engaged. The pacing was really well thought out. The historical accuracy was highly impressive and made it easier to connect events. I would recommend this to anyone that enjoys millitary history, historical studies, or books on the ugliness of war.
