The Killer Angels By Michael Shaara



The Killer Angels By Michael Shaara

The Killer Angels book shows the boundary between history and fiction. Shaara does not differentiate between what is factual in his writing and what is historical. The point of his novel is not to give a history of the Battle of Gettysburg. Rather, the novel is show people an imaginative side to it: it speculates on what it might have been like to participate in the battle and what the generals might have been thinking and feeling as it process. Nonetheless, Shaara’s work is carefully researched and is usually faithful to the events of the war.

My favorite part was the Morning, Gettysburg. It was very detailed this was a very good book altogether it really gets its point across.

On a scale of 1 (worst) to 10 (best) I give this book a rating of : ?

This book is available Oak View Media Center?
