The New York Times bestselling prequel to the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic The Killer Angels In this brilliantly written epic novel, Jeff Shaara traces the lives, passions, and careers of the great military leaders from the first gathering clouds of the Civil War. Here is Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, a hopelessly by-the-book military instructor and devout Christian who becomes the greatest commander of the Civil War; Winfield Scott Hancock, a captain of quartermasters who quickly establishes himself as one of the finest leaders of the Union army; Joshua Chamberlain, who gives up his promising academic career and goes on to become one of the most heroic soldiers in American history; and Robert E. Lee, never believing until too late that a civil war would ever truly come to pass. Profound in its insights into the minds and hearts of those who fought in the war, Gods and Generals creates a vivid portrait of the soldiers, the battlefields, and the tumultuous times that forever shaped the nation.

His first book in the Civil War, and his first novel. He gives you the characters that will be with you for many of his stories and does a great job of telling them. Okay, it does go a little slow and dry in some parts, and I needed to push through them, but it's worth it, and if you like 'The Killer Angles,' you have to read it.

Superb read
This is the first book in the Shaara trilogy of the Civil War and takes the reader from pre-war up to Gettysburg, following the careers of several Union and Confederate officers. What makes these books such page-turners is that Shaara concentrates on the men involved in the events, rather than on the events that involved the men. They are, of course, detailed and historically accurate, but even though the reader knows how the battles or the lives of the men turned out (such as Stonewall Jackson's accidental death), it's hard to put the books down.
