Review title: A must read for all Civil War buffs.
Product review: Gods and Generals was an excellent precursor, chronologically, to The Killer Angels. It was very informative as to the background of a few of the key men who fought in the Civil War. From Lee's own personal struggles with his family to T.J.Jackson's strict adherence to what he believed God wanted from him, Shaara took us into the minds of many a great soldier. There were also numerous tidbits of information on what influenced the outcome of the war. Shaara also provided vivid discriptions of the battle of Fredericksburg and the men's moral at that point in time. In my humble opinion, the only downfalls were a couple trivial factual errors and the lack of battle scenes. Were it not for my reading of Shaara's own father's Civil War masterpiece, I would have given this a 9.
