killer angels

between the North and South. Without studying the subject,

they do not appreciate the facts that make up this historical

event. When one reads the novel, The Killer Angels, the

reader will have a much better perception and understanding

of what actually happened during the war. The Killer Angels,

which is written by Michael Shaara, tells the epic story of the

great battle of Gettysburg, which left 50,000 Confederate

and Union soldiers dead, wounded, or missing. The tale is

told from the alternating points of view from several of each

side’s significant participants. The book moves back and

forth from the North and South perspective. Shaara portrays

the terrible butchery of the three days’ fighting through the

. . .
His job was to scout the

North's position as well count the number of troops.

The setting for the book takes place in Pennsylvania, where

the Battle of Gettys- burg is fought. The book provides an accurate and detailed

description of the war. The author makes

it clear that it is General Robert E. The author provides

many detailed maps of both army's positions. In

conclusion, I recommend The Killer Angels to anyone who

is curious or inter- ested about finding out what the Civil

War was like. This is a

tremendously moving novel, guaranteed unforget- table. Lee's poor judgment and

de- cisions that causes the South to lose the Battle of

Gettysburg. ] General Lee wanted to attack the Union troops

at Gettysburg, even though the North had the better ground,

more supplies, and thousands of more troops. Overall,

Lee was a good general, but during this particular battle, he

did not make the best of decisions, which in the opinion of

the author led to the Confederate troops losing the war.
