Title: No insight and no valid analysis
Review: In my opinion, I believe that Woodworth's treatment of this great campaign is best described as "a book with no soul." There are some well-known facts, but, more importantly, there are omission of many, many other facts that would (not surprisingly) undermine the author's numerous "traditional" assertions.Furthermore, the author's comments in the text and in the Bibliographical Essay that deal with trying to puff up his friends/colleagues while at the same time trying to discount/demean others not part of the author's "circle," are laughable and transparent. In the end, I believe that this book offers no furthering of knowledge and only reinforces some disproven myths about Gettysburg.For a good general read on Gettysburg, I believe that Glenn Tucker's "High Tide at Gettysburg" is far, far superior to Woodworth's.
