Abstract:

Three Days at Gettysburg contains essays from noted Civil War historians on leadership during the battle. The contributors to this volume believe there is room for scholarship that revisits the sources on which earlier accounts have been based, submitting them to rigorous evaluation and testing widely accepted interpretations of key officers' performances.

They have trained the investigative lens on relatively neglected officers, with an eye toward illuminating not only what happened at Gettysburg, but also the nature of command at different levels.
