The Killer Angels
from Ballantine Books
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:

Michael Shaara isn't a well-known figure in American literature. He spent most of his writing career producing short stories, mostly science fiction. He only wrote three novels while he was alive, the current book, a boxing novel titled "The Broken Place" and a futuristic doomsday thriller titled... more info

Gettysburg: A Novel of the Civil War
from St. Martin's Paperbacks
Price: $7.99

Customer Review:

This book is portrayed as an historical account of the battle of Gettysburg with the infusion of a dynamic dimension to the events and characters made possible by what Newt Gingrich refers to as "Active History". Gingrich explains what he means by active history in the introduction to this book. As... more info

The Killer Angels: A Novel of the Civil War (Modern Library)
from Modern Library
Price: $15.61

Customer Review:

Recommended by a friend, this book has jumped to the top of my list of favorites. The play by play picture painted about the battle of Gettysburg will teach you more about the event than ever taught in High School. More importantly, it's a human story of leadership, failure and triumph. In the end,... more info

ONE CONTINUOUS FIGHT: The Retreat from Gettysburg and the Pursuit of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, July 4-14, 1863
from Savas Beatie
Price: $23.07

Customer Review:

The understandably complex and detailed movements of both armies were handled well. Unfortunately the editing job was shockingly inadequate. Numerous mis-spelled words, words omitted and grammatical errors took the bloom off what should have been a rose.

Hallowed Ground: A Walk at Gettysburg (Crown Journeys)
from Crown
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:

Excellent. Good as history and good as a walking and driving guide to the battlefield. Better than the "Walk at" series entry
Washington Schlepped Here: Walking in the Nation's Capital (Crown Journeys)
probably because the bounds of time and geography are smaller here.

Welcome to Addy's World, 1864: Growing Up During America's Civil War (American Girls Collection)
from American Girl
Price: $15.25

Customer Review:

Of course Addy focused on slavery. She was a slave! How in the world could her story be told without focusing on it? The idea that this sad, yet vibrant history should be pushed under the rug is ridiculous. Slavery is part of the American history. Our children should know about it, our children... more info

A Different Kind of War Story (Ethnography of Political Violence)
from University of Pennsylvania Press
Price: $20.25

Customer Review:

I have never been so affected by a book than this. I had to heal myself after reading it. Years after, I write this review while battling the gruesome images described in this account of violence. Chapter after chapter I was tempted to put it down, away, bury it, whatever as it is truly difficult to... more info

In the Presence of Mine Enemies: The Civil War in the Heart of America, 1859-1863
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $12.89

Customer Review:

Very readable prose, and Ayers' use of manuscript census records to flesh out millitary casualty lists from his two Shenandoah valley localities is particularly nice. Highly enjoyable both for Civil War scholar and Virginia history buffs.

Gettysburg: A Battlefield Guide (This Hallowed Ground: Guides to Civil Wa)
from Bison Books
Price: $12.89

Customer Review:

I've lived and/or worked in Gettysburg for almost twenty-five years, and I've been on the battlefield hundreds of times. But I can honestly say that I never really had a good appreciation for what happened there until I got my hands on Grimsley's and Simpson's guide. It's completely... more info

The Colors of Courage: Gettysburg's Forgotten History: Immigrants, Women, and African Americans in the Civil War's Defining Battle
from Basic Books
Price: $11.90

Customer Review:

A lesson that comes through in Margaret Creighton's excellent The Colors of Courage is one, you'd think, we wouldn't need to learn: that the courage displayed by soldiers on the battlefield doesn't exhaust the meaning of the word. Curiously, though, it's a point that our culture seems to resist.... more info
