On July 2, 1863, forces from the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia and the Union Army of the Potomac clashed over the steep, rocky hill known as Little Round Top. This battle was one of the most brutal and devastating engagements of the American Civil War, and the North's bloody victory there ensured their triumph at Gettysburg, setting the stage for the South's ultimate defeat. Using newly discovered documents and rare firsthand sources, acclaimed historian Glenn W. LaFantasie sheds new light on the dramatic story of this pivotal battle and describes it as it truly unfolded, from the perspective of the brave men who fought and died there.
