Gods and Generals

"Lively, fast-paced. A worthy companion to the Killer Angels. Shaara brilliantly charts the war, the exploits of the combatants and their motivations. He also concisely shows how the early parts of the campaign unfolded. His accounts of the battles of Williamsburg, Antietam, Fredericksburg, and Chancellorsville are exciting. Though the story of the Civil War has been told many times, this is the rare version that conveys what it must have felt like." -Chicago Sun-Times. SC, 498 pages.
