faisman 's review for:

The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara
5.0

Majestic work describing what it was like to be on the ground during the American Civil War. It’s most fascinating moments describe the opinions and perspectives of people living through the time period, along with their opinions and emotions. The author meticulously researched the Civil War and especially read many diaries to understand the people involved. This Pulitzer Prize winning book is his attempt to explain to himself what it must have been like through their eyes, filling in the blanks of their accounts.
A wonderful eye into the time period.
