The Gettysburg Campaign: A Study in Command by Edwin B. Coddington is a meticulously researched book that analyzes the 1863 battle. Its main focus is on the leadership of both Union and Confederate armies before, during, and after the fighting. The book was published posthumously in 1968 and puts forth the argument that the Union victory was due to effective leadership, not just Confederate mistakes. The book provides a detailed, selective, account of the campaign, including the lead-up and Meade's decision not to pursue Lee. It is considered a seminal work in Civil War history and highly acclaimed for clarity, and focus on the "why" behind events.
