Searching for George Gordon Meade: The Forgotten… di Tom Huntington

Probably the best book I have ever read. It combines military history, biography, and travelogue to tell a marvelous story. The travelogue brings the past to the present. The biography and military history are lean depending much on first hand accounts. Great maps!
I just loved this book and can’t say enough about bringing this little remembered figure from our history.

As for why Meade isn't better remembered, besides the shadow of not having made more of the victory of Gettysburg (which was realistically not very likely), Huntington suspects that Meade didn't have the right mindset to play the game of military high command the way that Grant did.… (altro)
