Michael Shaara's classic Civil War novel, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1975, is "a superb re-creation of the Battle of Gettysburg...but its real importance is its insight into what the war was about, and what it meant" (former American Historical Association president James A. McPherson). Praised for its historical authenticity, The Killer Angels captures the human story behind the three-day battle that turned the tide of the Civil War. The novel was adapted in 1993 into the film Gettysburg, which starred Tom Berenger and Martin Sheen, and partially inspired documentarian Ken Burns to create his landmark series The Civil War (1990). Fine in Near Fine dust jacket.
