Sommario/riassunto

The second day's fighting at Gettysburg?the assault of the Army of Northern Virginia against the Army of the Potomac on 2 July 1863?was probably the critical engagement of that decisive battle and, therefore, among the most significant actions of the Civil War.  Harry Pfanz, a former historian at Gettysburg National Military Park, has written a definitive account of the second day's brutal combat.  He begins by introducing the men and units that were to do battle, analyzing the strategic intentions of Lee and Meade as commanders of the opposing armies, and describing the concentration of force

Sommario/riassunto

Fear has become an ever-expanding part of life in the West in the twenty-first century. We live in terror of disease, abuse, stranger danger, environmental devastation and terrorist onslaught. We are bombarded with reports of new concerns for our safety and that of our children, and urged to take greater precautions and seek more protection.
