Gettysburg and Gen. Lee's Lost Cause

This long, but fantastic article on Gettysburg is a must read for any Civil War Buff. It discusses how General Lee and his failure to communicate properly with his generals may have been one of the reasons why the Confederates lost the battle. As the author notes in his article
"While any commander expects there will be differences between what is planned and what occurs, it is sobering to realize how much of Lee’s plan was either mistaken in its assumptions or misunderstood by its participants."

It is a must read for any Battle of Gettysburg enthusiast.
