LEE - Victory at Gettysburg Milton N Franson

CONVENTIONAL WISDOM says that Gen. Robert E. Lee lost the pivotal Civil War battle of Gettysburg because of a disastrous, almost suicidal frontal attack against a superior enemy force entrenched on strategic high ground. But what if Lee actually had another even more daring plan that unravelled when his generals failed to properly execute this bold and complex battle maneuver? What if Lee's real strategy had worked as he planned? Would his army of 71,699 have defeated the Union Army of the Potomac's 93,921 men? Would the tide of war turned to the South's favor? What then? But what if an entirely different scenario had unfolded at Gettysburg? One that Gen. Lee had not anticipated. What if a completely unexpected turn of events had given the Confederates the victory-- in a way no one could have predicted? That is the premise of this alternative history novel, in which the author imagines how one unexpected event turns the course of history on its head. One event causes the dominoes of the military and political war to fall in favor of the South, with profound and far-reaching effects. In "LEE - Victory at Gettysburg" we get a glimpse into an alternate history when one small event changes the outcome on the hills south of that little village in Pennsylvania on July 2, 1863
