The Killer Angels
by Michael Shaara
After watching Gettysburg I had to read the book on which it was based...not only because the movie was very good. (One of the few war movies that I have actually re-watched voluntarily--my dad used to love war movies & I've seen all the John Wayne ones more than necessary). I have been interested in the Civil War since taking an awesome course on it in high school from a teacher who was a true student of the period (and who, unfortunately was taken from us much too soon).
This is a book that Mr. Rood (aforementioned teacher) would have loved and would probably had included in the class as required reading if he had known about it then. It brings the 3-day battle to life in such a very real and human way. The friendships that crossed battlelines, the anguish and bravery, and heartbreak.
Again...I love this book. It led me to go on and read more on Joshua Chamberlain--the hero of Little Round Top.
