Michael Shaara reinvented the war novel with his Pulitzer Prize&ndash winning masterpiece of Gettysburg, The Killer Angels. Jeff Shaara continued his father&rsquo s legacy with a series of centuries-spanning New York Times bestsellers. This volume assembles three Civil War novels from America&rsquo s first family of military fiction: Gods and Generals, The Killer Angels, and The Last Full Measure. Gods and Generals traces the lives, passions, and careers of the great military leaders&mdash Thomas &ldquo Stonewall&rdquo Jackson, Winfield Scott Hancock, Joshua Chamberlain&mdash from the gathering clouds of war. The Killer Angels re-creates the fight for America&rsquo s destiny in the Battle of Gettysburg, the four most bloody and courageous days of our nation&rsquo s history. And The Last Full Measure brings to life the final two years of the Civil War, chasing the escalating conflict between Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant&mdash complicated, heroic, and deeply troubled men&mdash through to its riveting conclusion at Appomattox. Praise for Michael Shaara and Jeff Shaara&rsquo s Civil War trilogy &ldquo Brilliant does not even begin to describe the Shaara gift.&rdquo &mdash The Atlanta Journal-Constitution &ldquo Shaara&rsquo s beautifully sensitive novel delves deeply in the empathetic realm of psycho-history, where enemies do not exist&mdash just mortal men forced to make crucial decisions and survive on the same battlefield.&rdquo &mdash San Francisco Chronicle, on Gods and Generals &ldquo Remarkable . . . a book that changed my life . . . I had never visited Gettysburg, knew almost nothing about that battle before I read the book, but here it all came alive.&rdquo &mdash Ken Burns, on The Killer Angels &ldquo The Last Full Measure is more than another historical novel. It is rooted in history, but its strength is the element of humanity flowing through its characters. . . . The book is compelling, easy to read, well researched and written, and thought-provoking. . . . In short, it is everything that a reader could ask for.&rdquo &mdash Chicago Tribune.
