Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Account Existing
Review: Any scholar of this inspiring battle will welcome Bancroft's meticulous account of events. Accurate descriptions rendered in a moment-by-moment narrative style transport the imaginative reader to the very scene of this chaotic fight.

I realize that this description may appear somewhat breathless but it's rare for any credentialed historian to inform as well as excite.

All of the movements of key defenders are carefully tracked and described in detail. This volume also contains many rare photos. The final chapter provides a detailed biography and photo portrait of many of the surviving British soldiers involved with interesting descriptions of their later lives.

Simply fascinating and likely to be the most satisfying account you will ever read of this amazing epic.
