Very good pre-owned condition, shelf wear, bend on front cover THEY MET AT GETTYSBURG has long been regarded as the classic treatment of one of the greatest, most fascinating, most decisive battles in history. Originally published in 1956 in a hardcover edition, the book became a bestseller through the course of five printings. Praised for the color-fulness of its narrative, its dozens of fine photographs, maps, tables and illustrations, and the thoroughness with which every facet of the battle is covered, THEY MET AT GETTYSBURG has continued for more than a quarter-century to bring alive the battle and its heroes for historian and amateur student alike. Now republished in this revised edition, with a prologue by Robert H. Fowler, whose novel Jim Mundy is regarded as one of the best Civil War stories ever written, THEY MET AT GETTYSBURG offers its drama and insight to a new generation of Americans.
