The Killer Angels

(Book #2 in the The Civil War Trilogy Series)

PULITZER PRIZE WINNER - NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The "remarkable" (Ken Burns), "utterly absorbing" (Forbes) Civil War classic that inspired the film Gettysburg, with more than three million copies in print--now in a 50th anniversary edition featuring a new introduction by Jeff Shaara "My favorite historical novel . . . a superb re-creation of the Battle of Gettysburg, but its real importance is its insight into what the war was about, and what it meant."--James M. McPherson In the four most bloody and courageous days of our nation's history, two armies fought for two conflicting dreams. One dreamed of freedom, the other of a way of life. Far more than rifles and bullets were carried into battle. There were memories. There were promises. There was love. And far more than men fell on those Pennsylvania fields. Bright futures, untested innocence, and pristine beauty were also the casualties of war. Michael Shaara's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece is unique, sweeping, unforgettable--the dramatic story of the battleground for America's destiny.

This brilliant book explains clearly why Stuart, Ewell and Lee combined to lose Gettysburg and how Longstreet wanted desperately to override their mistakes Chamberlain over emphasized but he lived long enough to tell his story

Michael Shaara's Pulitzer Prize winning masterpiece

Originally published in 1974, Killer Angels, by Michael Shaara, won the Pulitzer Prize as historical fiction about the Battle of Gettysburg. About a quarter of a century later, and following his death, his son, Jeff, an accomplished writer in his own right, was convinced to write both a prequel (Gods and Generals) and a sequel (Last Full Measure) creating perhaps the greatest trilogy of the Civil War’s Eastern Theater in existence,...
