Summary

Traditional writers of military history often stress strategy and tactics at the expense of a character analysis of the commanders who led the troops. Here Larry Tagg remedies that oversight in a unique and valuable study of the combat officers at Gettysburg. Filled with insightful anecdotes and lively narrative, The Generals of Gettysburg delves into the character and personality of every combat command officer (133 in all), combining this with an in-depth account of each man's actions on the field of Gettysburg. This marriage of character -- "the features and attributes of a man" -- with each general's battlefield record yields new insights (sometimes quite startling) into the battle and its outcome.
