Stephen Flowers 'The Killer Angels'

The book I chose was 'The Killer Angels' by Michael Shaara. The reason it was because I am very fascinated by the Civil War and the bloodiest battle of the war. I also like the style of writing he uses and have read other books of his such as 'For Love of the Game'. I also love his son's books (Tallahassee native Jeff Shaara) who finished the Civil War trilogy and wrote novels of WWI and II as well as the Revolutionary War. The Movie 'Gettysburg' which is based on the book, I have watched many times and love how most of it was actually filmed at Gettysburg and it impersonated the book to a certain extent.
