— A systematic account of the strategic Civil War battle, from Lee's decision to invade Pennsylvania, to the consequences of his retreat. They Met at Gettysburg lives up to its billing as a step by step account of the battle from the beginning of Jun 1863 when Lee starts seriously planning the invasion of the North to mid July 1863 when the battered Army of Northern Virginia crsosses the Potomac back into the Confederacy.

A straightforward, soldierly account of the Pennsylvania Campaign and the Battle of Gettysburg by an author who knew a thing or two about generals and the decisions they face (Stackpole was a thrice-wounded company commander with the 28th U.S. Army Division in World War I).
