Sadly those in the UK will only be able to get this from Amazon or another book site on the web as it is not sold in the shops. That's a shame because this is a fantastic book full of excellent factual information but told in a spell binding style. Sears recounts Lee's ill fated invasion of the North whose earlier victories produced a contempt for the enemy that made him think he could do the impossible, and the rise of George Meade who brilliantly out generaled Lee that day and has sadly never been given the credit for his accomplishments. It's still seen as a southern defeat rather than what it was - a Union victory. Anyone interested in military history should read this.
