Without Warning: The Saga of Gettysburg, A Reluctant Union Hero, and the Men He Inspired Audiobook Download by Terry C. Pierce

This book is about how the voice of Lieutenant General James Longstreet changed the course of the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863, arguably the most important battle in American history. It also tells a story that has never been told before: how a single moment on July 1 and 2, 1863 forever changed Longstreet's life as well as thousands of other soldiers who followed his example.

The Civil War, more specifically the Battle of Gettysburg, is one of the most influential battles in American history. The battle created a dividing line between north and south that was only split, finally and irrevocably, with President Lincoln's assassination. The book tells the story of Gettysburg through four different perspectives.

When he was appointed to the post of colonel, Gettysburg's new commander found himself facing a daunting task: an army without officers. The Civil War had left many of the ranks riddled with dead and wounded while the war continued to rage on. This is a true story that revolves around three men who fall into his camp and become instrumental in winning the Battle of Gettysburg. However, their contributions would be unknown if it wasn't for a historian named Terry C. Pierce who goes on to research and write about their involvement in his novel, Without Warning: The Saga of Gettysburg, A Reluctant Union Hero, and the Men He Inspired

Without Warning: The Saga of Gettysburg, A Reluctant Union Hero, and the Men He Inspired is an audiobook that tells the story of United States soldier John D. Meader's decision to abandon his post at a crucial moment in the Battle for Gettysburg. He fights for four hours without support from any other soldiers before he is rescued by two others who were scouting nearby.

Terry C. Pierce has written a book that tells the story of Gettysburg in a way never before told. Not only does he tell the story of the battle, but also how it was reframed by Thomas B.L. Porter, an American writer and historian who wrote without warning, which means he did not give himself any time constraints to write on his project. He wrote while living in Europe where he had to work on it whenever he could find time away from his other duties.

There is no way to accurately convey the emotional state of a nation at a specific time and with specific events. There are, however, some people who can fill that role. One such person was Captain Joshua Chamberlain. From a privileged upbringing that included his father being named president of Dartmouth College, Chamberlain never had to work. In fact, he didn't even want to do manual labor for anything but horses and cavalry horses at that! Imagine his surprise when the war came and he found himself commanding a company of soldiers in the regiment of General Daniel Sickles--a very important source of Confederates.
