Book Review of Gods and Generals (Civil War Trilogy, Bk 1)

Gods and Generals (Civil War Trilogy, Bk 1)

Helpful Score: 4


I read Killer Angels first and wanted to see how the author's son Jeffrey Shaara handled the material so wisely narrated by his father. I am mostly through the book and am really enjoying it. Jeffrey remained true to the style of Killer Angels, focusing on the men, conversation and strategy of the Confederate and Union Generals and troops in the months ahead of Gettysburg. This is not a blood and guts book. It is a great read for all those interested in this tragic period of our history and the minds and the character of the men that shaped it.
