Profound in its insights into the minds and hearts of those who fought in the war, Gods and Generals creates a vivid portrait of the soldiers, the battlefields, and the tumultuous times that forever shaped the nation. JEFF SHAARA is the award-winning, New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal and Publishers Weekly bestselling author of seventeen novels, including Rise to Rebellion and The Rising Tide, as well as Gods and Generals and The Last Full Measuretwo novels that complete his fathers Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, The Killer Angels. I quickly read THE KILLER ANGELS to get a feel for the subject, and then started plowing through G&G. Lee, never believing until too late that a civil war would ever truly come to pass. This was the original version of GODS AND GENERALS by Jeff Shaara. Here is Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, a hopelessly by-the-book military instructor and devout Christian who becomes the greatest commander of the Civil War Winfield Scott Hancock, a captain of quartermasters who quickly establishes himself as one of the finest leaders of the Union army Joshua Chamberlain, who gives up his promising academic career and goes on to become one of the most heroic soldiers in American history and Robert E. In this brilliantly written epic novel, Jeff Shaara traces the lives, passions, and careers of the great military leaders from the first gathering clouds of the Civil War. The New York Times bestselling prequel to the Pulitzer Prize–winning classic The Killer Angels Maxwell encouraged Shaara to continue the story his father began inspired, Jeff planned an ambitious trilogy, with The Killer Angels as the centerpiece, following the war from its origins to its end.
