Beskrivning
Assessing the myths and facts surrounding Pickett's charge, Carol Reardon explores why this event endures so strongly in the American imagination. She demonstrates that the story told today of the charge is really an amalgam of history and memory and that the evolution of that mix has much to tell about how the past of the USA can be understood.

Recensioner i media

"A fresh look at the disastrous assault." - New Yorker; "A splendidly lively study of the manipulation, not necessarily deliberate or malign, of public opinion." - Atlantic Monthly; "Exceptionally lucid.... This fine book provides vivid evidence of just how far we will go to alchemize fantasy into fact." - Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post; "Pickett's Charge in History and Memory utilizes first-rate scholarship to tell a fascinating story.... Should win a wide audience among general readers." - Civil War History
