Book Reviews of The Killer Angels: A Novel
Book Review: A tragic but pivotal episode in American history
Summary: 5 Stars
This book provides insight into the psyche of the leadership of both armies - north and south. The soldier's faith in leadership, or lack of it, is brilliantly portrayed in discourse. I think the title is appropriate. Trusting in God's will, especially by General Lee, appeared to be self-serving. The needless slaughter of humans is exemplified in the battle at Gettysburg.
It is an historic masterpiece.
Summary of The Killer Angels: A Novel
This title is a novelized account of the Battle of Gettysburg. Despite carrying a letter from Lincoln offering peace on the South's terms, General Robert E. Lee resolved on one mighty blow to finally destroy the Federal Army of the Potomac.Historical Books
