• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

By 1863, Major General Daniel E. Sickles was notorious as a disgraced former Congressman who murdered his wife's lover on the streets of Washington. With his political career in ruins, Sickles used his connections with President Lincoln to obtain a prominent command in the Army of the Potomac's Third Corps.

Now available in paperback, Sickles at Gettysburg, by licensed battlefield guide James Hessler, is the most deeply researched, full-length biography to appear on this remarkable American icon. And it is long overdue. No individual who fought at Gettysburg was more controversial than Major General Sickles.
