Book Reviews of The Killer Angels

Book Review: A Wonderful Read
Summary: 5 Stars

I was a history buff long before I read The Killer Angels several years ago. I think in this day and age, its important to look back at our history as Americans and appreciate everything we have and remember why we have it. Joshua Chamberlain is an important American figure, but many people have no idea who he was or what he did in his lifetime. The Battle of Gettysberg is a milestone in American history, and Michael Shaara did an excellent job in bringing the reader closer to understanding this battle and its importance. It is a fairly easy book to read, and highly recommended for anyone with an interest in the Civil War or American history.
