The 22nd bestselling book in the Osprey list is not a surprising one...

Campaign 52 Gettysburg 1863: High Tide of the Confederacy
By Carl Smith
Illustrated by Adam Hook

This book examines the battle that the Civil War has come to be remembered by. An iconic clash of 150,000 soldiers from both sides, which would ultimately decide the fate of a nation, Carl Smith follows General Lee's last gamble - the invasion of the Northern States.

Interesting Fact
As befits one of the most famous battles in history, when this book was first published in 1998, it was decided that the usual 96 page format of the campaign series simply couldn't do justice to the battle. So in an extremely rare break from the established series style, CAM 52 Gettysburg was allocated an extra 32 pages, taking the book up to 128 pages (hence the white flash announcing a Special Extended Edition across the bottom right of the cover above).
