"The Gettysburg Campaign: A Study in Command" by Edwin B. Coddington, published by Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, First Edition, Second Printing with a Scribner code "B-5.70[V]"; copyright 1968 by the author.

Hard boards, original confederate gray cloth with lettering on spine and front board [a little shelf wear]; federal-blue endpapers; 6.1/4" x 9.1/2"; 866 pages including Index, cream color paper + 2 blocks with illustrations on glossy paper, very good condition.

"Scrupulously documented and rich in fascinating detail, The Gettysburg Campaign stands as one of the landmark works in the history of the Civil War."

"Professor Coddington's is an analysis not only of the battle proper, but of the actions of both Union and Confederate armies for the six months prior to the battle and the factors affecting General Meade’s decision not to pursue the retreating Confederate forces. This book contends that Gettysburg was a crucial Union victory, primarily because of the effective leadership of Union forces—not, as has often been said, only because the North was the beneficiary of Lee's mistakes."

"A great detailed book, very informative from both sides of the Gettysburg campaign. You may find a lot of information that you can't find in other books on Gettysburg." [from a review]

"As comprehensive a detailing of the battle ever written. A search of "best books on Gettysburgh" included this book on everyone's list. Well worth the read, and the time investment. Every detail, no matter how small or obscure is included. The footnotes are enormous; almost a book in and of itself! The prose is not some whizz-bang "modernized" blather. It is academic, and reads as a serious work. Maps are included. It is a complex subject, well written." [from a private review]
