Shelby Foote, who cut such a courtly figure in Ken Burns’s PBS
series The Civil War, is an uncommonly graceful writer as
well, and this careful study of the 1863 Gettysburg campaign
assumes the contours of a classical tragedy. Foote positions
readers on the field of battle itself, among swirling smoke and
clattering grapeshot, and invites us to feel for ourselves its
hellishness: “men on both sides were hollering as they milled about
and fired, some cursing, others praying … not a commingling of
shouts and yells but rather like a vast mournful roar.” Foote’s
fine book is history as literature, and a welcome addition to any
Civil War buff’s library.
