Historical?. This novel seems to vary widely from other accounts of this great battle. There is a sharp bias towards the genius and charm of Confederate general, Robert E. Lee. In contrast, US Army senior officers, which are always described as Union officers, are all two dimensional and greatly flawed. While some minor USA leaders are given a more sympathetic portrait, their place in this fiction is to illustrate the enormous flaws of US Army officers at Gettysburg and aggrandize Lee's character and skills. Yes, it was initially mildly amusing to read a fictional account of the Gettysburg battle but the story becomes tedious as the authors' theme of glorifying the Confederate leaders and arousing pity for Lee's difficult decision to abandon his oath of allegiance becomes apparent. In any case, offering a rationale that the Northern leaders were the real traitors to the dreams of our Nation's founders and attributing that view to Lee did not work for me. Undoubtedly, Benedict Arnold had a rationale for his decisions too. The later fictional work by these authors is a better read, despite similar fictional variances, than this tome. The Gettysburg Trilogy provides moments of interest but these moments are separated by pages of emptiness. While this a "historical" work of fiction, I could not warm up to the idea that Robert E. Lee in this work and George Washington, as depicted in Valley Forge, enjoy similar stature in American history.

Excellent. One of the best books I’ve read. Scarcely able to put it down.
