The killer angels the classic novel of the civil war
The Killer Angels (The Civil War Trilogy, #2) by Michael Shaara
In the four most bloody and courageous days of our nations history, two armies fought for two 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. Shattered futures, forgotten innocence, and crippled beauty were also the casualties of war. The Killer Angels is unique, sweeping, unforgettable—a dramatic re-creation of the battleground for Americas destiny.
The Killer Angels
“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.

Yet within this shared heritage, they also celebrate a kind of diversity.
This story of a 3-day battle in a 4-year war ends in tragedy for both sides at the bloodbath in Gettysburg, PA that is considered the turning point of the American Civil War. No one knows the thoughts of men going into battle, but Shaara captures the emotions behind the thoughts so well. The waiting and the terrible knowing what lies in store most certainly must be the most terrifying part of war. No matter which side one is on, the feelings of fear mingling with the hunger, thirst, and exhaustion are a common bond. It's almost a reprieve when the fighting begins
