Gettysburg, The Gettysburg Trilogy

The New York Times–bestselling Civil War novel: a “well-executed alternative history [that] imagines a Confederate victory at Gettysburg” (Publishes Weekly).

An action-packed and painstakingly researched novel by former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and historical fiction author William R. Forstchen, Gettysburg stands as the first book in a series to tell the story of how a victory for Confederate General Robert E. Lee would have changed the destiny of the nation forever.

The year is 1863, and General Lee and his Army of Northern Virginia are poised to attack the North. Launching his men into a sweeping operation, Lee audaciously pursues his last best chance for ultimate victory. With renewed spirit, Lee’s lieutenants embark on the Gettysburg Campaign that many dream “should have been.”

The soldiers in the line, Yank and Reb, knew as well that this would be the great challenge, the decisive moment that would decide whether a nation would die, or be created. Both sides were ready, willing to lay down their lives for their Cause.
