Killer Angels

Killer Angels is a Pulitzer Prize-winning classic written by Michael Shaara. Following his death his son, Jeff, completed the trilogy with Gods and Generals and Last Full Measure. Killer Angels recounts the Battle of Gettyburg. It goes into great detail describing each day of the battle, how it was planned out and the consequences of decisions made by the generals involved. Gods and Generals follows the main characters leading up to the Battle of Gettysburg. Last Full Measure continues after Gettysburg to the surrender at Appomattox. All three are epic stories that follow the lives, passions, and careers of the great military leaders of that time. Great reads for all fans of the Civil War.
