I ordered this book because I was trying to read Pulitzer Prize winners that I had missed. It is a powerful book about the Battle of Gettysburg and the personalities of the men on both sides who fought it and the strategies involved. No happy ending there, but a reminder of a dark time in our history. Shaara deserved the Pulitzer Prize.
