The Battle of Gettysburg was one of America’s pivotal moments.
Union forces repelled the brilliant, seemingly unbeatable Robert E.
Lee-just as he was poised to capture the nation’s capital. History
has held that Lee made one disastrous decision on the battle’s last
day-launching “Pickett’s Charge” uphill across an open field
against the heart of the Union defense. But why would he have
employed only a fifth of his forces at such a crucial moment?
Tom Carhart offers a bold thesis-that Lee’s real strategy was to
combine Pickett’s frontal attack with a daring rear assault to
break the Union Army in half. But this second attack was stopped by
a force half its size, led by the young, unproven General Custer,
who helped turn the tide of the war. Destined to be controversial,
this is a provocative, indispensable reassessment of a monumental
battle.
