A tour de force of computer-enhanced photography and meticulous research, this is a photographic recreation of pivotal moments in the Battle of Gettysburg. Modern battlefield photographs, re-enactor images, and computer-graphics combine to yield a uniquely realistic, time-machine-like portrayal of Pickett's Charge, Little Round Top, McPherson's Ridge and more -- close to how they looked in July 1863. Historic 19-century photographs of the battlefield give a fascinating frame of reference. Clasby also provides a lucid text on the battle's key events and an Appendix covers 'Touring the Battlefield with This Book' and describes the unique graphic techniques used to produce the images.
