The Killer Angels, Michael Shaara's classic Civil War novel about the men who led the fight at the Battle of Gettysburg, was a Pulitzer Prize-winning best seller. Now in Gods and Generals, Jeff Shaara carries forward his father's vision in an epic story that traces the lives, passions, and careers of these 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. We also find Winfield Scott Hancock, one of the finest leaders in the Union army, and Joshua Chamberlain, who gives up a promising academic career to become one of the most heroic soldiers in American history. And here too is the complex, aristocratic Robert E. Lee, faced with the agonizing decision of resigning from a distinguished, 30-year army career in order to defend his home, not believing until too late that a civil war would ever truly come to pass.

From the Battle of Fredericksburg, where, for the first time, all four men meet on the same field, to the Battle of Chancellorsville, when Jackson is mortally wounded by his own men, Gods and Generals paints a brilliant portrait of the lives of these great leaders during the tumultuous, bloody decade leading up to the Battle of Gettysburg.

Beautifully told, compelling in its vivid portrayal of the battlefield, and profound in its insights into the minds and hearts of those who fought, Gods and Generals is truly a worthy companion to the timeless The Killer Angels.

A few errors in the audio, but a great story and well read. Can't wait for the next one.

Great, minus the few audio errors.

While it is somewhat disappointing that this is an abridged version, it actually works out pretty well. Hard core history or civil war listeners will want to wait for the complete work. But for the rest of us, this gives a not-too-long chunk of good story, interesting narrative, and colorful language.

History made entertaining

Enjoyable recount of a portion of the war. Would have to complement with other reading to specialize or continue second half of the war.

Draws together northern VA war development.

Nice build up towards Gettysburg. Some insight to the Generals and their inner fears. Could have been more detail oriented but overall pleasant presentation

Good story telling!
