false 682804 37 This novel reveals more about the Battle of Gettysburg than any piece of learned nonfiction on the same subject. Michael Shaara's account of the three most important days of the Civil War features deft characterizations of all of the main actors, including Lee, Longstreet, Pickett, Buford, and Hancock. The most inspiring figure in the book, however, is Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, whose 20th Maine regiment of volunteers held the Union's left flank on the second day of the battle. This unit's bravery at Little Round Top helped turned the tide of the war against the rebels. There are also plenty of maps, which convey a complete sense of what happened July 1-3, 1863. Reading about the past is rarely so much fun as on these pages. 1044737 book 1974 The Killer Angels total:7125|5:3015|4:2576|3:1104|2:284|1:146| 7125 29405 9130 1010 3 4 false false Tue Apr 22 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 28 17:39:20 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 22 07:30:32 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 3 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1998 Fri Jan 18 15:56:32 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 18 15:56:32 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 2 false false Wed Nov 12 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 10 19:02:32 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 12 13:35:06 -0800 2008
