Esquire har fått en strategiekspert til å kommentere slaget ved Gettysburg, fra begynnelse til slutt.
Dette er genialt engasjerende og utrolig leseverdig. Artiklene tar for seg ulike kritiske momenter.
Hatten av for Lt. Col. Robert Bateman, som kan kunsten å levendegjøre.
Begynn fra bunnen - første innlegg i bunn er introduksjon. Det neste er kavallerislaget ved Brandy Staion, og etter det er man fanget av denne fortelleren.

En prøve:
At around one o'clock in the afternoon, just as Custer's men were stopping Stuart's rebels, roughly 160 Confederate cannon opened fire. (Please, folks, let us not descend into a debate about if it was 158, 164, or 172…okay?) As a part of Lee's overall plan, this cannonade was supposed to soften the center of the American lines. The barrage of solid shot and exploding shells was to prepare the way for the coming infantry attack. It was an assault that he had asked his right-hand man and longest-serving corps commander, General James Longstreet, to conduct.
As the rounds whistled overhead the men of the 8th Ohio kept low. Death now spoke with a great booming voice. Yet for all the violence of the southern cannonade the Ohioans suffered only two additional casualties during the preparatory fire. (Cannonballs neatly bisected both men, if "neat" can be used to describe such a thing.) They had taken worse during the infantry attack in the morning. Still, though the cannon's solid shots and shells might not be striking home among them, the message was clear, "The Rebs are coming, and they're coming here."
