Civil War Artillery at Gettysburg
Philip M. Cole · 2002
על הספר
"The battle of Gettysburg continues to fascinate readers almost 140 years after it took place, yet few know the role that artillery played in deciding the epic contest. Now, in a fresh approach to this crucial issue, Philip M. Cole, a licensed battlefield guide at Gettysburg National Military Park, has written a detailed account of the technical and organizational factors behind Union and Confederate artillery actions.". "Every aspect of artillery combat at Gettysburg is described and evaluated - organization, men, equipment, ammunition, logistics, technology, and performance. And every facet is studied in light of its impact on the battle. Yet for all its technical detail and analysis, the book never loses sight of the human drama behind the guns - the many tales of heroism and human and animal suffering. This study of artillery at Gettysburg will influence the history of this crucial battle for years to come."--BOOK JACKET.
