Calvin Carlson, Killer Angels

I am reading The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara. This book is very well written as it gives key insights into the inner workings of the events leading up to the Battle of Gettysburg. Shaara jumps between several war-time leaders on either side of the battle which helps the reader understand why each side was fighting.

Shane Smith - I had to read Killer Angels for another class and I agree that it is very well written in that I feel it offers a unique perspective from the battlefield itself as events unfold. This keeps the storyline interesting as it eventually leads into the Battle of Gettysburg.
