Killing Angels Review

I believe that this book has been the best one I've ever read dealing with the Battle at Gettysburg. I loved how Shaara described both the people and events. It was a hard book to put down because it just draws in the reader. I found the maps particularly helpful when trying to understand the strategies of the battle. I also enjoyed the way Shaara helped me to understand both viewpoints of the South and the North. I never understood the South's view of the war. So reading this book helped me visualize their side. I look forward to seeing and walking on the battle field this July.

    I agree that the maps were essential to a visual learner like me. I haven't finished the book yet. I am on day three of the battle but the maps help keep me on track.
