The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara
4.0

"...we are not descended from fearful men." Want some fictional confirmation that Murrow was right? Here's some.

Pleasant, easy reading, this book gives you a credible-seeming look at what the leaders of our Civil War must have felt.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that you'll read this book and walk away with a better appreciation for the intricacies of the Battle of Gettysburg; you'll get more from Wikipedia on that front. But you'll walk away understanding a bit better the social and spiritual "normal" for the time.

These were different dudes.
