emdebell 's review for:
The Killer Angels
by Michael Shaara
I've always had a hard time keeping the details of the Civil War straight in my mind: the locations of the battles, the characteristics of the generals. Shaara manages to pack a ton of people, places, and tactics into a modestly-sized novel without it ever feeling confusing. On the contrary, this was a remarkable portrait. I loved the changing viewpoint here; being able to see things from both sides was a large part of the book's charm. This has set the bar for Civil War fiction in my mind.
