An interesting book by National Park Service historian, Ted Alexander, recounts the bloodiest day during the American Civil War. With a concise language, he describes the movements of the troops as they engaged and fought each other over the battleground. A good overview of the battle, with a number of personal interest stories tucked in, and some good maps. There is a good index as well, and a list of sources. A good indication of a history book is one that doesn't tell everything, but show more tells enough to make the reader want to read more. This book completes that task well. Recommended. show less
