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.
"For those who have visited the site and those who still have it on their wish list, this superbly illustrated hardback book would make an ideal gift..." -- Skirmish, December 2003.
