I like the book and It should be made into a Movie
I enjoyed the book, Gone for Soldiers, because it helps to describe how the American and Mexican soldiers lived and faced during the Mexican War 1846-1848. In addition, it describes some of the battles of the Mexican War, under Winfield Scott, from Vera Cruz to the ...

Gods and Generals
Jeff Shaara
Ballantine Books, 1998
Successfully following a Tough Act
Let's face it, "The Killer Angels" was a great book and you'd have to be crazy to try and follow an act like that. I would like to thank Jeff Shaara for trying to follow his father's book. "Gods and Generals" is worthy of being a prequal to "The Killer Angels." Jeff ...

The Glorious Cause
This is a very well written book. If all the information is accurate,it should be taught in the school system. It brings the period to life.

Jeff Shaara's Civil War Battlefields: Discovering America's Hallowed Ground
Jeff Shaara
Ballantine Books, 2006
If only they had used this book in high school..
... I would have been interested in history sooner. It answers one of the most commonly asked questions a bored high schooler asks: "Why should I care about this?". Example, Antietam led to the Emancipation Proclamation being signed when did.
I've read most of ...

The Last Full Measure
Jeff Shaara
Ballantine Books, 2000
How the hell did it get this far?
The whole thing could have been avoided if both sides had shown a little more restraint. But, it came to this. Jeff Sharra has written a superb sequal to his Dad's "The Killer Angels", and brought a fitting end to a sad story. I consider it to be a four book series, ...

The Killer Angels (Random House Large Print (Cloth/Paper))
Michael Shaara
Random House Large Print, 2004
Leonardo Lee's review
If I would rate this book out of 5, I would definitely give it a 5 as the semi-fictional account (I enjoy a war book) was heartfelt and tragic, even if you knew what was going to happen. The Killer Angels is something that takes from fiction and non-fiction. All the ...

Long Remember
MacKinlay Kantor
Forge Books, 2000
A love story and war from the ground up
A solemn realistic novel that is historically consistent, but I would not necessarily recommend it for the Civil War buff. It is more a great drama than a great story of history. I would compare it more to "Gone With the Wind" than, say, "The Killer Angels." It is ...
