While I can't say this is a bad work, the reality is that it wasn't written for me, and was a little bit shallow for my purposes. Still, even if one is a hardened student of the Civil War, you'll enjoy reading about the author's travels in the course of learning about Meade's life. As for why Meade isn't better remembered, besides the shadow of not having made more of the victory of Gettysburg (which was realistically not very likely), Huntington suspects that Meade didn't have the right mindset to play the game of military high command the way that Grant did.
