520    "This award-winning Civil War history examines Robert E. 
       Lee's retreat from Gettysburg and the vital importance of 
       Civil War military intelligence. While countless books 
       have examined the Battle of Gettysburg, the Confederate 
       Army's retreat to the Potomac River remains largely 
       untold. This comprehensive study tells the full story, 
       including how Maj. Gen. George G. Meade organized and 
       motivated his Army of the Potomac to pursue Gen. Robert E.
       Lee's retreating Army of Northern Virginia. The long and 
       bloody battle exhausted both armies, and both faced 
       difficult tasks ahead. Lee had to conduct an orderly 
       withdrawal from the field. Meade had to assess whether his
       army had sufficient strength to pursue a still-dangerous 
       enemy. Central to the respective commanders' decisions was
       the intelligence they received about one another's 
       movements, intentions, and capability. The eleven-day 
       period after Gettysburg was a battle of wits to determine 
       which commander better understood the information he 
       received. Prepare for some surprising revelations. The 
       authors utilized a host of primary sources to craft this 
       study, including letters, memoirs, diaries, official 
       reports, newspapers, and telegrams. The immediacy of this 
       material shines through in a fast-paced narrative that 
       sheds significant new light on one of the Civil War's most
       consequential episodes. Winner, Edwin C. Bearss Scholarly
