An extraordinary book, a fast-paced retelling of the Battle of Gettysburg from the viewpoint of officers on both sides. Special attention ig given the confederate officers, the losers at Gettysburg.
The characterization is excellent. The design of the novel well thought out and planned. The attention to detail immerses the reader in the period.
I can't think of anything to criticize, unless it is the lack of "ordinary" characters. There are no enlisted men used as viewpoint characters, a contrast with "The Red Badge of Courage."
