A review by jwest87
Gettysburg by Stephen W. Sears

5.0

I wish I could give half stars here. I found this to be a very moving account about Lee's second invasion North. My only gripe (a very small one) is that Mr. Sears declares in the introduction that the person at fault for the Confederate loss at Gettysburg is General Lee and General Lee alone. By the end of this, it felt like the entire leadership of the Confederacy (excluding General Longstreet), was at fault. A leadership that has been given so much praise throughout the years seems to be totally absent. Credit must also be given to some of the leadership in the Union army (Hancock especially).
