Gettysburg by Ronald F. Maxwell

To one raised on Civil War maps wondering "How could the General do that?" it provides educational depictions of the fog of war, of not knowing what was before you or sweeping around you. The battle for Little Round Top is thrilling no matter how well you know the outcome ahead of time.
