Reviews"The best and most realistic historical novel about war I have ever read." GENERAL H. NORMAN SCHWARZKOPF "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 Author of Battle Cry of Freedom "Remarkable . . . A book that changed my life . . . I had never visited Gettysburg, knew almost nothing about that battle before I read the book, but here it all came alive." KEN BURNS Filmmaker, The Civil War "Shaara carries [the reader] swiftly and dramatically to a climax as exciting as if it were being heard for the first time." The Seattle Times From the Hardcover edition.
Dewey Decimal813.5/4

Important Historical Insight to Civil War
This book actually created a new genre of historical writing--the author researched the primary sources just as an actor does in order to "become" the character in a play. It is written in the first person; chapter by chapter, the author assumes the persona of each general, of each army, making strategic battle decisions. It reads like a novel, drawing the reader into personalities as they each search their own reasons for fighting, some noble and some cruel. I wish the book had included the Introduction by Jeff Shaara, the authors' son, that some editions have. It is worth reading as background to the importance of this literary work.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

The Killer Angels
Those days at Gettysburg are fascinating to myself. I reside very close to Gettysburg and have stood on those actual battlefields, Devils Den, Pickett's charge and it's just amazing (and very, very sad too) Looking over the big field where Pickett's charge took place, I actually get goose bumps trying to imagine the courage of the rebels to walk across that big open field into the guns of the waiting Federals. This book does an excellent job of telling the story of the three days at Gettysburg. Highly recommend this book if the reader is fascinated by the battle of Gettysburg.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
