The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara

The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara

It is the third summer of the war, June 1863, and Robert Lee's Confederate Army slips across the Potomac to draw out the Union Army. Lee's army is 70,000 strong and has won nearly every battle it has fought. The Union Army is 80,000 strong and accustomed to defeat and retreat. Thus begins the Battle of Gettysburg, the four most bloody and courageous days of America's history. Two armies fight for two goals - one for freedom, the other for a way of life. This is a classic, Pulitzer Prize-Winning, historical novel set during the Battle of Gettysburg.

'The best and most realistic historical novel about war I have ever read'

-- GENERAL H NORMAN SCHWARZKOPF

'My favourite historical novel.. A superb recreation of the Battle of Gettysburg, but its real importance is its insight into what the war was about, and what it meant'

-- JAMES M McPHERSON, author of Battle Cry of Freedom
