The very best chapter is the epilogue, but you must read the whole way through to appreciate it. This book manages to make the history of a single battle nigh a hundred years ago seem to come alive. All of the excerpts from the soldiers' own words are incredible. My words are not doing this book justice, really, I recommend this highly to anyone interested in American history. Please don't skip this thinking you're not into military history- I'm. It, and I enjoyed this immensely.
