What is Stars in their courses : the Gettysburg campaign, June-July 1863 about?

Shelby Foote's monumental three-part chronicle of the Civil War was hailed by Walker Percy as "an unparalleled achievement, an American <i>Iliad</i>, a unique work uniting the scholarship of the historian and the high readability of the first-class novelist." <p>Drawn from Foote's acclaimed and massive <i>The Civil War: A Narrative</i> - the central chapter of the central volume, and therefore the capstone of the arch - this new addition to the Modern Library offers a matchless account of the epic Gettysburg Campaign. Complete with detailed maps, <i>Stars in Their Courses</i> brilliantly re-creates the three-day conflict: it is a masterly treatment of a key great battle and the events that preceded it - not as legend has it but as it really was, before it became distorted by controversy and overblown by remembered glory.</p> <p>"Gettysburg... is described with such meticulous attention to action, terrain, time, and the characters of the various commanders that, at last, what happened in the battle [can be understood]," said <i>The Atlantic</i>.</p>
