Synopsis"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. Praise for The Killer Angels "Remarkable . . . a book that changed my life . . .

My favorite book...
This book was assigned reading in an American History class in college. This was the first book I read of the "historical fiction" genre, and I was moved beyond words. I felt transported back to the Civil War, a subject I had never even been that interested in. The character development is superb, and the method of telling a story as seen by both sides (North and South) and from many vantage points was brilliant. I cannot recommend this book enough!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
