A vivid account of the Battle of Gettysburg. The free verse is swift and full of exciting details, unique in the telling, especially in the descriptions of each day's battle, bringing the reader into a full sense of the battlefield in all its gory aspects. It tells of the generals' plans, their quirks and their successes along with their failures. Here the readers find themselves in the midst of the action, as well as the progress of each army. In the end, the hardly predictable success of the Federal army is balanced by the fierceness of each side, with its gutsy soldiers and officers. Again, this is a unique approach, yet clear and based on the facts as we know them.
