I listened to this book as an audiobook on the the way to visit the battlefield. While more complete understanding of the momentous battle requires much more time than I could give to both the audiobook and the visit, I highly recommend McPherson's book which takes the reader through the battle both chronologically and geologically. This book will entice the reader to visit the battlefield and, hopefully, to study even more.
