  • "'The Killer Angels' won the 1975 Pulitzer Prize. It was a national best seller and the book on which the popular movie Gettysburg is based. Though the novel is considered a classic of Civil War literature, its author Michael Shaara remains little known despite the fact that he revealed a little of himself on every page. This is the story of Shaara who strongly identified with commanders on both sides of the Civil War."
