Summary This book speculates on a possible alternate outcome of the battle of Gettysburg based on key military figures making different decisions. While maintaining the same battle conditions, the author considers how minor mistakes could have changed the course of the battle. This speculation includes discussion of J.E.B Stuart arriving late, Robert E. Lee's strategic decisions and the management of Pickett's Charge.
