Product ReviewsGettysburg : A Novel of the Civil War by William R. Forstchen and Newt Gingrich (2003, Hardcover)

Fictional history

While it is fiction, it uses real persons of the past. While we can only guess how interaction really was, the writers seem to blend our history and biographies well.

no conflicts here.... excellent book

As usual, Gingrich, Hanser and Forstchen created living words that came off the page like a hot little minni-ball! Everything flowed right along and the pace just kept on coming. More than adequate descriptions, details that added to the scenes, plots, and direction of the book.

I'm really glad to have all three in the series... But then, I usually buy what Gingrich sells............... I'd vote for him for President given the chance.Read full review...

One can only imagine what America would look like today had the book been actual history.

Absolutly great book!!!!!

An absolutly fantastic read for any civil war buff who ofeten
wonders WHAT IF? Well written spellbinding, Couldn't put it down. The detail of the suffering and carnage were a bit over the top. Newt's ability to make the story feel like reading history instead of fiction is remarkable, as well as how he makes the anguish, and compassion of the military leades seem so real.Read full review...

I experienced the Civil War battles, as never before.

One of the most informative and interesting books on the Civil War that I have ever read. True history, written in story form, Gingrich and Forstchen have a gift in writting and story telling. I have bought his whole series on the Civil War and several others, such as Pearl Harbor.Read full review...

A Gingrich book is always a best buy!
