Killer Angels 2
The thing I really like about historical fiction is the way the author makes these historical figures/characters come to life. Of course, what you read is just an interpretation (Shaara makes that disclaimer clear in the "To the Reader" preface) but I believe most contemporary authors make their best effort to be as accurate as possible. In reading KA, I now feel like I know these men a little better--as men-- and not as just still pictures or words on a textbook page. I'm anxious to read The Last Full Measure, and maybe some of the other Jeff Shaara books now.

I, too, am anxious to read the other two books in the series. I hope that Jeff can bring his characters to life as well as his father did in Killer Angles.
