(Knopf, Spring 2013) is at least a surprise. [Lesson in presupposition: Just because an eminent historian's massive body of published scholarship offers little or no evidence of a deep professional interest in crafting military history (excepting a N&S article from years ago), it doesn't mean the desire's not there!]Then again, I am assuming the type of book solely from its title, which could very well be a mistake.
Interesting. I have his various books on Lincoln and have found them good and pretty well written.
ReplyDeleteHarry Smeltzer posted a video last year on his site of Guelzo talking about Meade: http://bullrunnings.wordpress.com/2011/07/03/allen-guelzos-take-on-meade/
Apparently he has been interested in doing something on Gettysburg for years.
