My Enemy, My Brother: Men and Days of Gettysburg
ISBN: 9780306806926 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In July 1863 the invading Army of Northern Virginia, confident from its victory at Chancellorsville, unexpectedly encountered the Army of the Potomac, still without a general Lincoln could trust, at a small town in Pennsylvania. And there, among the verdant hills, rich fields, and sparkling brooks around Gettysburg, the two armies slaughtered each other in fearful numbers. My Enemy, My Brother is a remarkable re-creation of that battle, told not as military strategists have told it, but the way soldiers, doctors, shopkeepers, farmers, and wives lived it. Drawn from the letters,...

Eleven thousand casualties suffered-more than during the D-Day invasion of Normandy. Why? Allied commanders wanted to punish the enemy to the very last moment and career officers saw a fast-fading chance for glory and promotion.
Joseph E. Persico puts the reader... November 11, 1918. The final hours pulsate with tension as every man in the trenches hopes to escape the melancholy distinction of being the la...
