I read Stephen Sears "Gettysburg" after reading Noah Trudeau's "Gettysburg - A Testing of Courage"; I wanted to see how the authors agreed and differed on this turning point of the Civil War. Sears met my expectations of learning even more about this battle and provided me with even more curiosity about what happened in this small town in the summer of 1863. I enjoyed the pictures and drawings, missing in Trudeau's work, that provided more context to the story although I felt the maps in Trudeau's book were more informative. Anyone wishing to delve deep into the study of the battles at Gettysburg would do well to read Sears excellent book.
I first read Gettysburg several years ago and loved it. Knowing the battlefield and town were still there made me want to visit. In April of 2017 I spent a couple of days there. Standing on Little Round Top, climbing around the Slaughter Pen, looking across from Seminary Ridge and walking around Cemetery Hill and standing near the spot where Lincoln gave the Gettysburg address make me read it again. So much better the second time through. I paid closer attention to how war was fought during the Civil War, how the people of Gettysburg and surrounding towns dealt with two great armies that needed food, clothing, medical treatment and, ultimately burying. I want to go back again to Gettysburg... Read this book.
First one must realize if you are just wishing to have a short book that will give one and overall summary of what happened at the battle of Gettysburg, then this book is not for you. After many years our family was finally able to visit the battlefield and most likely this would be our only trip. So after a great deal of research I purchased this book. I am so glad I did. The detail was almost overwhelming and there were times I had to really focus to keep all the events in place. I did refer to the maps that were in the book often and sometimes the most current map to the subject matter did not have all the locations the author talked about. However, this should not be taken as a negative comment because the book would have been nothing but maps. If you are planning on going to the battlefield then this book makes everything one sees fascinating as the author did a masterful job with the detail of each location. I really liked how the book flowed as well, the timeline was easy to keep up with. Again, if you are just looking to be entertained, this book may not be for you. However, if you really want to know every detail including troop movements then I can't imagine a better book available.
In Gettysburg, Stephen W. Sears charts the Gettysburg Campaign, June 3 to July 24, 1863, Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s second invasion of the North during the American Civil War. The campaign culminated in the Battle of Gettysburg, July 1-3, in which approximately 48,000 Americans became casualties. In the end, nothing was gained except these men added to the casualties rolls.No two armies could have been more similar and yet more different than the Army of the Potomac and Army of Northern Virginia. For the first time, the two armies neared manpower parity. While Lee’s army was supremely confident, even contemptuous of its opponents, George G. Meade’s army had no illusions about the coming fight. Its men were eager to prove they could win a victory.Where Lee’s command was rife with disagreement, miscommunication, apathy, and poor decision making, with some exceptions the leadership of the Army of the Potomac had its finest hour. Sears convincingly demonstrates that the Union army’s leadership simply out classed their counterparts, at least on this battlefield.Much has been made over the years of Confederate cavalry commander Maj. General J.E.B. Stuart’s absence during the critical days leading up to the battle. Sears in some ways exonerates Stuart. Stuart was following Lee’s orders when he rode around the Union army, capturing supplies and disrupting communications.“The very concept of Stuart’s expedition was fueled by overconfidence and misjudgment at the highest command level,†he argued. While frustrated with Stuart’s absence, Lee made no effort to rectify the situation until after the battle was underway.The Army of Northern Virginia lost many of its finest men and officers at the Battle of Gettysburg. It would never recover. Faced with opposition from his generals for the first time, particularly Lt. General James Longstreet, Lee dug in his heels and stubbornly refused to budge. This inability to properly manage his subordinates was at the heart of the campaign’s failure. Where Lee failed at managing his subordinates, Meade succeeded. Sears concludes, Meade “thoroughly out generaled Robert E. Lee at Gettysburg.â€In some ways, Sears judges the Army of Northern Virginia too harshly. Despite some missteps, the first day was a stunning victory for the Confederates, and the second day was at worst a draw. The Union army occupied a strong defensive position on high ground. It is questionable whether any Confederate army could have dislodged it. Still, Pickett’s Charge on July 3 was an inexcusable disaster that everyone except George Pickett and Robert E. Lee seemed to know would fail.Perhaps no Civil War battle has been written about more than Gettysburg, but Sears still manages to break new ground. There are no factual bombshells here–it is a familiar story, but the author’s analysis is as insightful as his writing style is clear, concise, and at times even poetic. This is truly a masterwork.
After my annual viewing of the film Gettysburg I was hungry for more detail and chose Stephen Sears book. There are many more complexities and nuances to the evolution of the Battle then you get in high school history. Sears describes the genesis of the campaign, the logic and reasoning behind it, and switches between both camps as they blunder towards each other to give you a sense of suspense. There were heroes and villains, laggards and fools, inspired moves and colossal failures. It is fascinating to watch how the fortunes of both sides sway one way or the other during the conflict. Sears places most of the blame for the catastrophe on Robert E. Lee, who handled his forces poorly and seemed not to recognize some of the weaknesses of his command decisions. A good read.
