Reviews
An instructive book about Civil War generalship that will engage and inform anyone interested in the dynamics of command from the perspective of those in charge."-- Library Journal, In this meticulously researched new book, a Civil War expert presents a refreshingly complex view of the matter - and rises to Meade's defense."-- Christian Science Monitor, In this meticulously researched new book, a Civil War expert presents a refreshingly complex view of the matter - and rises to Meade's defense."-- Christian Science Monitor's Top 10 Books of June, Meade at Gettysburg is an important contribution to Civil War literature...Brown's mastery of manuscript and published primary materials is immediately evident..His narrative recounts in astonishing granularity Meade's command decisions and those of his principal subordinates across the course of the campaign."-- Civil War Book Review, Meticulously researched and masterfully written." -- Civil War Monitor's Best Civil War Books of 2021, Brown breaks new ground on a topic that is well-trodden...dissected the summer of 1863 in a masterful fashion and offers a new interpretation of the event by focusing on the actions and decisions [of Meade]." - Pennsylvania Heritage, Brown is a good storyteller. His prose is engaging, and the book is difficult to put down."-- Emerging Civil War, Brown's book is the most thorough and authoritative study of Meade's generalship to appear in a generation, edging out even John Gregory Selby's excellent 2018 book "Meade: The Price of Command, 1863-1865" - but that command, at its moment of crisis, is still intensely up for debate."--Steve Donoghue, Christian Science Monitor

  • Meade at Gettysburg

    The author loves his subject. It’s very detailed for us historian types yet easy to read. Stellar accomplishment, as was his Retreat from Gettysburg. Top notch research. Extremely well done. Very compelling read. Makes one go back and visit Gettysburg.

  • Boring!

    More maps desperately needed to enlighten the reader on where activity is taking place. Attacks on other historians is always a good sign that the writer's thesis is bogus.
