"The best and most realistic historical novel about war I have ever
read."
--General H. Norman Schwarzkopf
In the four most bloody and courageous days of our nation's history, two
armies fought for two dreams. One dreamed of freedom, the other of a way
of life.
"MY FAVORITE HISTORICAL NOVEL...A superb re-creation 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
Far more than rifles and bullets were carried into battle. There were memories.
There were promises. There was love. And far more than men fell on those
Pennsylvania fields. Shattered futures, forgotten innocence, and crippled
beauty were also the casualties of war.
"REMARKABLE...A BOOK THAT CHANGED MY LIFE...I had never visited
Gettysburg, knew almost nothing about that battle before I read the book,
but here it all came alive."
--Ken Burns, filmmaker The Civil War
The Killer Angels is unique, sweeping, unforgettable--a dramatic re-creation
of the battleground for America's destiny.
