Book Reviews of The Killer Angels: The Classic Novel of the Civil War

Book Review: "Mine eyes have seen the glory..."
Summary: 5 Stars

THE KILLER ANGELS has to be the greatest Civil War novel that I've ever read. The novel not only puts you into the bloodiest battle on American soil, but the novel also puts a human face on the well-known characters, as well as staying almost 100% accurate to the real events.* Michael Shaara proves that he is one of the greatest authors of our time. This is a must read for anyone who loves excitement, drama, and history. Followed by GODS AND GENERALS, THE LAST FULL MEASURE, and GONE FOR SOLDIERS, all three written by Shaara's son, Jeff. Grade: A+

*Ronald F. Maxwell almost copied the story 100% for GETTYSBURG,
the acclaimed film version of THE KILLER ANGELS.
