Review title: Not bad for a book with educational value- Brooke M.
Product review: Gods and Generals by Jeff Shaara was one of the better historically-based novels I have read. It had the typical blood and gore battle content, which was intriguing, but it also gave you a feel of the men in the war as humans, not just killing machines. It showed how even the most brutal of generals was hurt by problems within their families. I also thought that it was interesting when they portrayed the real emotions of the men fighting in the fields. I learned a ton about strategies of war and about Civil War generals and the military. The novel switched to a different person every chapter so it never really got too boring. The only part that lost me were when they discussed a battle plan in great depth or used military terms to describe stuff. Gods and Generals is definitely a good choice if you're required to read a novel on the Civil War.
