The killer angels by michael shaara5/22/2023 More than rifles and bullets are carried into battle. One dreams of freedom, the other of a way of life. In the four most bloody and courageous days of our nation's history, two armies fight for two conflicting dreams. Opposing them is an unknown factor: General George Meade, who has taken command of the Army only two days before what will be perhaps the crucial battle of the Civil War. His right hand is General James Longstreet, a brooding man who is loyal to Lee but stubbornly argues against his plan. Lee has made this daring and massive move with 70,000 men in a determined effort to draw out the Union Army of the Potomac and mortally wound it. The Confederate Army of Northern Virginia is invading the North. After 30 years and with three million copies in print, Michael Shaara's Pulitzer Prize-winning Civil War classic, The Killer Angels, remains as vivid and powerful as the day it was originally published.
