kategci 's review for:

The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara
4.0

I was dreading this choice for one of my book clubs, but I was surprised by how much I liked this novel about the Battle of Gettysburg. I had visited Gettysburg last summer with my family and remembered most of what I had seen on the two tours we had taken as the book refreshed my memory. This novel is more than just a recounting of the battle; Michael Shaara tells the story from the points of view of the various Generals who led both sides into the Battle. He writes so well, I felt the heat and smells of the battlefield. I highly recommend this for fans of military fiction and even casual fans of the Civil War.
