Pickett's Charge is a detailed analysis of one of the most iconic and defining events in American history. This book presents a much-needed fresh look, including the unvarnished truths and ugly realities, about the unforgettable story. With the luxury of hindsight, historians have long denounced the folly of Lee's attack, but this work reveals the tactical brilliance of a master plan that went awry. Special emphasis is placed on the common soldiers on both sides, especially the non-Virginia attackers outside of Pickett's Virginia Division.

Worst CW book ever. Can't rate it low enough. It deserves negative 5 stars in all categories

Very detailed
Revisado: 02-11-22
The author presents a very detailed examination of the battle and the people involved. He does tend to repeat himself frequently. But he also provides an interesting insight into the lives and personalities of not only the usual generals, but also many unknown or forgotten soldiers. The personal letters and papers quoted reflect the attitudes and opinions at the time of the battle as well as later reassessment and conclusions. At first the book appears to be too long and drawn-out , but the amount of detailed facts make for a better overall understanding of the people and situation.

This New York Times best seller is a thrilling account of one of the most pivotal moments in United States history. Six months after the Declaration of Independence, America was nearly defeated. Then on Christmas night, George Washington led his men across the Delaware River to destroy the Hessians at Trenton. A week later Americans held off a counterattack, and in a brilliant tactical move, Washington crept behind the British army to win another victory. The momentum had reversed.

Interesting perspective of with excellent details
Revisado: 05-07-20
I have read numerous good books on George Washington and the Battle of Trenton and expected this book to cover much of the same. However, I was pleasantly surprised at the new information, unique perspective, and additional details in this book. Personal notes from soilders involved on both sides, details and background on several lesser known commanders, information on the "petit guerre" and the Battle of Princeton ,all made for interesting and enjoyable Iistening.
