Phenomenal!!!.......2007-06-26
I became totally enthralled with the Civil War after reading this masterpiece. His story-telling style caught me off guard and I absolutely flew through this book. Thankfully his son has picked up the torch to complete the finest historical series I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Be sure to read Gods & Generals and Last Full Measure. I was moved to tears on more than one occasion.
A thoughtful surprise.......2007-06-14
I found this book to be insightful and thought provoking. It is chock full of details and antidoted stories. It reads well and was a pleasure to read as a pastime.
A great history lesson.......2007-03-30
The author brings the Battle of Gettysburg and the Civil War to life in this wonderful novel. He uses the alternating views from the officers of both sides of the conflict, thus making you feel as you are right with them, culminating in the horrific and tragic end of the battle.
There is a whole lot more to the tale than you remember from our history lessons in school (public schools = nothing much learned), and I was truly saddened by the incredible loss of life due to the mistakes of the priveleged few, the generals. No wonder they say Gettysburg is one of the most haunted places in America.
Highly recommended, an entertaining read and an excellent history lesson in the bargain.
Couldn't put it down.......2007-03-26
I don't understand how he did it....but he actually made me feel some sympathy for the South.
A Great Novel.......2007-02-19
This is the greatest novel I have read, maybe ever. You don't have to be a history or Civil War buff to appreciate the human emotions brought out through the story. Very well written; I was drawn into the men's lives and could feel their energy. I felt especially empathetic for Longstreet, towards the final battle, when he really knows (I mean he KNOWS) what is going to happen to his men when they charge up the hill, but he has to give the order to advance anyway. Any writer who can make you feel so strongly for their characters and sit there telling Longstreet not to do it!! then in my opinion, they have created a masterpiece of literature. Bravo.

Customer Reviews:
Fluff !.......2007-02-16
The author credits Michael Shaara's "Killer Angels" as being responsible for the start of his interest in the Civil War. This novel is a piece of lightweight fluff which I find difficult to read because boredom sets in quickly. Most of the book is meaningless dialogue and character's thoughts which do little to inspire the reader.
As an avid Civil War buff who has read plenty of history, both primary and secondary source material, finds enough historical inaccuracies in this book to wonder how it ever managed to find a publisher. Characters wander around the novel with no good reason. Major historical figures make an appearance with little connection to the fictional characters and the true story of the battle on Little Round Top. The author takes forever to set the scene for that struggle and the reader has to struggle with boredom to ever reach that point in the novel.
I have visited the battlefield at Gettysburg many time since my first trip at the age of 2. I have walked the field many times in many years. Eishen may have made a visit to the monument to the 20th Maine, but I wonder if he climbed Little Round Top by the route of attack by the Alabama regiments.
I had expected more mention of the other units involved in this engagement and I was sadly disappointed.
As an aside, there are enough typos and mispellings throughout the book which make it even more annoying.
Gettysburg history lesson.......2007-01-13
Thomas Eishen nails a good one. Gettysburg is perhaps the greatest single battle of the civil war in terms of how the war ended. Eishen does an excellent job in novel form to keep the reader's attention. Written similar to the style of Jeff Shaara, one will not have a hard time reading this one. It is not boring history. It is an easy and enjoyable read and will add knowledge to what you think you might know about Gettysburg. Buy it. Enjoy it.

Commendable in a lightweight sort of way.......2006-12-01
After seeing the Civil War epic Gettysburg (Widescreen Edition) when it was first released, I made a special trip cross-country to the battlefield and, like the author of COURAGE ON LITTLE ROUND TOP, stood at the monument to the 20th Maine at the left extremity of the Union line and paid silent tribute to Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain and his regiment which waged there such a stalwart defense. In a contemporary world so lacking in heroes, I put the gallant Chamberlain on a modestly tall pedestal, an atypical action that even survived my subsequent reading of the man's biography, In the Hands of Providence: Joshua L. Chamberlain and the American Civil War.
Here, author Thomas Eishen strives to add a human side to the battle for Little Round Top on the second day of the Gettysburg collision by re-creating in novel format the thoughts, words, and actions of Chamberlain and one of his opponents, 2nd Lieutenant Robert Wicker of the 15th Alabama Regiment, as they may have occurred during the couple of days prior to and during the assault.
It was the fictionalization of the days prior that perhaps reduced this book in my estimation inasmuch as Chamberlain and his regiment are assigned their do-or-die position by brigade commander Col. Strong Vincent only on page 250 of this 289-page volume. So, if you're hoping for an exhaustive immersion in the struggle for the hill, forget it. Rather, the preceding pages are filled, much like GETTYSBURG the film, with protagonists' dialog and mental preoccupations that are, at best, plausible but unremarkable script-filler and, at worst, an inane look at men under arms as they swan about the countryside pre-battle. Moreover, I was singularly unimpressed with the very few maps accompanying the text. Indeed, the one showing the opposing lines on Little Round Top was not much bigger than a postage stamp and would've required the use of a magnifying glass had I cared to bother with it.
I'm at obvious odds with other 5-star reviews of COURAGE ON LITTLE ROUND TOP. Perhaps my expectations were too great. In any case, I wouldn't recommend spending the money for this title unless you're seeking a very light read for an airplane trip to Pennsylvania, in which case it's perfectly satisfactory.
Following in the footsteps of "The Killer Angels".......2006-09-02
If you have read Michael Shaara's "The Killer Angels" and Stephen Crane's "The Red Badge of Courage" you have an excellent basis to read and enjoy Thomas Eishen's novel that combines some of the aspects of both. This book features Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, a prominent character in Shaara's novel, and Lt. Robert Wicker, who is only alluded to by Shaara.
Eishen's novel unfolds around the impending confrontation between these two men on July 2, 1863 on Little Round Top during the Battle of Gettysburg. Wicker, whose unit is the 15th Alabama, had fled the scene during a previous battle, and, like Private Henry Fleming in "The Red Badge of Courage" worries that he in fact may be a coward. Since many of the soldiers in his company are friends and relatives from back home in Alabama, his fear is that a repeat performance in battle will make him a laughingstock and he will become an embarrassment to his family members. Chamberlain, on the other hand, has to deal with his two well-intentioned but meddlesome brothers who are members of his staff.
Eishen does a fine job of relating the evolution of these events through dialogue fashioned for these characters. The run-up to the actual confrontation between Chamberlain and Wicker is an interesting perspective on the daily lives of the common soldier in camp and while on the march.
First time novelist Thomas Eishen has done a commendable job of describing these fast-paced events, and readers will find that the situation only alluded to in "The Killer Angels" takes on new meaning, and the characters involved come alive.
Ranks With the Best in Civil War Novels.......2006-07-17
Thomas Eishen's "Courage on Little Round Top" proved extemely satisfying to an avid civil war reader. Meticulous research and attention to detail brought to life the story of Union Colonel Joshua Chamberlain and his battlefield opponent, the Confederate 2nd Lieutenant Robert Wicker. Eishen's treatment of the subject showed a side of Chamberlain I had not been introduced to before and Wicker's role in this historical novel gave me a new understanding of the events that took place at Gettysburg in the Battle of Little Round Top. Though packed with historical fact, the book was an enjoyable read, a vivid glimpse of the American past. I wish I had read the book before a recent visit to the Gettysburg Battlefield. Even so, my memory (and photos) of the battle site are more real for this reading. As a real enthusiast of American Civil War History, I highly recommend this book for a pleasurable journey into the world of two memorable characters, the well-known Chamberlain and the lesser-known, though no less interesting Lt. Wicker. I look forward to more from the author.

Helped me read through it.......2000-08-27
The book itself, The Killer Angels, was not a difficult read. In fact, it's a really good book. The cliff notes however, help you to understand some of the millitary talk you may have skipped through. I personally like Barron'S book notes better, but they haven't done a Killer Angels review yet. I suggest this book to anyone who needs to read this book (for summer reading, AP US History)... it helps you to understand and study for a test better.

package to save on shipping costs.
Amazon.com
In a prequel of sorts to his father Michael Shaara's 1974 epic novel The Killer Angels, Jeff Shaara explores the lives of Generals Lee, Hancock, Jackson and Chamberlain as the pivotal Battle of Gettysburg approaches. Shaara captures the disillusionment of both Lee and Hancock early in their careers, Lee's conflict with loyalty, Jackson's overwhelming Christian ethic and Chamberlain's total lack of experience, while illustrating how each compensated for shortcomings and failures when put to the test. The perspectives of the four men, particularly concerning the battles at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, make vivid the realities of war.

"BRILLIANT DOES NOT EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE THE SHAARA GIFT. THANK GODS AND GENERALS THAT IT WAS PASSED FROM FATHER TO SON."
--Atlanta Journal & Constitution
"LIVELY, FAST-PACED . . . A worthy companion to The Killer Angels . . . Shaara brilliantly charts the war, the exploits of the combatants and their motivations. He also concisely shows how the early parts of the campaign unfolded. His accounts of the battles of Williamsburg, Antietam, Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville are exciting. . . . Though the story of the Civil War has been told many times, this is the rare version that conveys what it must have felt like."
--Chicago Sun-Times
"SHAARA'S BEAUTIFULLY SENSITIVE NOVEL DELVES DEEPLY into the empathetic realm of psycho-history, where enemies do not exist--just mortal men forced to make crucial decisions and survive on the same battlefield. . . . [He] succeeds with his historical novel through fully realized characters who were forced to decide their loyalties amid the horrors of their divided nation."
--San Francisco Chronicle
"The battle of Gettysburg featured a cast of characters dramatically and poignantly portrayed in Michael Shaara's The Killer Angels. This new novel by his son Jeff Shaara describes the interconnected paths that brought these men together at this crossroads of our history. Readers of The Killer Angels won't want to miss Gods and Generals."
--James McPherson, Author of Battle Cry of Freedom

Download Description
The story of Gods and Generals begins with Michael Shaara, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic The Killer Angels. A native of New Jersey, Michael Shaara grew to be an adventurous young man: over the years, he found work as a sailor, a paratrooper, a policeman, and an English professor at Florida State University. In 1952, his son Jeff was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
Michael's interest in Gettysburg was prompted by some letters written by his great-grandfather, who had been wounded at the great battle while serving with the 4th Georgia Infantry. In 1966, he took his family on a vacation to the battlefield and found himself moved.
In 1970, Michael Shaara returned to Gettysburg with his son Jeff. The pair crisscrossed the historic site, gathering detailed information for the father's novel-in-progress. In 1974, the novel was published with the title The Killer Angels. This gripping fictional account of the three bloody days at Gettysburg won Michael Shaara a Pulitzer Prize and a vast, appreciative audience. To date it has sold two million copies.
When Michael Shaara died in 1988, his son Jeff began to manage his literary estate. It was a legacy he knew well, having helped his father create it. When director Ron Maxwell filmed the movie Gettysburg, based on The Killer Angels, he asked Jeff to serve as a consultant. Maxwell encouraged Shaara to continue the story his father began; inspired, Jeff planned an ambitious trilogy, with The Killer Angels as the centerpiece, following the war from its origins to its end.
With Gods and Generals, Jeff Shaara gives fans of The Killer Angels everything they could have asked -- an epic, brilliantly written saga that brings the nation's greatest conflict to life.
The heartbreaking saga of the years preceding The Killer Angels.
"Brilliant does not even begin to describe the Shaara gift. Thank gods and generals that it was passed from father to son."
ATLANTA JOURNAL & CONSTITUTION

Customer Reviews:
How did we ever...................2007-09-01
.....get into such a mess? Actually, that question is approached [not answered; it will never be answered] elsewhere. The Civil War was NOT the fault of the Generals. In Jeff Shaara's prequel to his Dad's "The Killer Angels", the story is, once again, told from the viewpoint of leaders from each side...these men did not want war, and none of them wanted to see the Union broken. All were men of the same time, but of a different place....that was the problem. Winfield Scott Hancock had real feelings of friendship for Lewis Armistead. Robert E. Lee's decision to follow Virginia was not made lightly [and had the Virginia Secession Convention voted to stay in the Union, the war would have been totally different, with Lee leading the North with a clear conscience].
This history of the Civil War up to Chancellorsville is essentially accurate. It isn't "Lee's Lieutenants", but Mr. Shaara has never claimed to be Dr. Freeman. Lee and Hancock were career Army men who had seen promotion pass them by, stuck in a system where leaders were usually in place for life...Chamberlain did his duty, which always seemed to push him center stage...Stonewall Jackson was a misfit with one supreme talent; he knew how to fight...Longstreet was a genius far ahead of his time; the first twentieth century general, fighting the last eighteenth century war. [Bragg and Beauregard were twentieth century officers, too, but they aren't in the book]. McClellan was certainly not the idiot that history has painted him, but Pope and Hooker were. JEB Stuart had flash and style, and he knew how to lead...Hood and Pickett were as different as two men could ever be, but both were fine Generals.
As I said, this is not profound academic history; it's a novel. Still, it's accurate...I don't think I found any real errors of fact. Mr. Sharra has given us realistic portraits of Armistead and Hancock's differing views of duty, Chamberlain's clear-sighted patriotism, Longstreet's frustration, Lee's agony, Jackson's ???...Stonewall was a devout Christian, and a great fighter; my fellow Confederates consider me a heretic for my opinion of Jackson's mental stability, but I stand by it. Maybe the South would have won had Stonewall lived....but, see my review of "The Killer Angels". The cameos of Albert Sidney Johnston and Winfield Scott are certainly true to life.
If you want deep study, go elsewhere; the supply of good, bad, and indifferent books on our Civil War is endless. Look at my other reviews, and you will find books of interest to only a few people on earth. This fine novel is for the other 99.99999% of the population...if you want a good, honest, well-written, basic overview, start right here.
Might have been impressive if written by a high school student.......2007-07-04
I have read the first 60 pages and can see that the rest is likely to be an endurance test. The author reminds me of a very young person whose thoughts and convictions about life are as yet unformed and who isn't quite sure that he has enough to say about them, so he falls into a prose style that goes something like this:
"He walked through the forest, the collection of trees, and he came to a brook, a babbling stream, and thought about his wife, the woman he had married..." etc. The reader is about to scream, to emit a hoarse cry of anguish, from his mouth, the oral cavity. As I said, the writer seems simultaneously haunted by the fear that he may not have enough to say and a sense of being pleased with himself that he has discovered a "thoughtful" and "flowing" style. He doesn't really understand the 19th century, as he shows when he has Robert E. Lee ask Stonewall Jackson, "Will you be obliged to carry me across the river," which is nonsensical; if such a conversation had really happened, Lee would either have asked "Will you oblige me" or have stated "Sir, you will oblige me..."
Fortunately, the Civil War really happened, so one supposes that there must be some grain of reality somewhere in this book, though the author's understanding of it, based on what I have seen so far, is likely to be about on the level of a Hallmark card.
Gods and Generals.......2007-06-28
I enjoyed reading the book,however the chapters near the end of the book were repetitive. It was as if they were repeating themselves. Would I recommend to others to read the book. Yes
A Great Read, but now your committed to the trilogy.......2007-05-09
If you have read and enjoyed Killer Angels, you will enjoy the same styles and characters. But you will have to then read the conclusion book for the Civil War, The Last Full Measure. Also try Gone for Soldiers: A Novel of the Mexican Warby Shaara, I knew very little about the Mexican campaign and it introduced Grant, Lee and other characters at the beginnings of their military careers.
A great way to get your history lesson.......2007-03-26
Fascinating portrayal of a sad time in US History, as told from the perspectives of the generals involved in these campaigns. I was most particularly moved by Lee and his torn loyalties to the US Army and his home state of Virginia, and most especially by the great Stonewall Jackson. I've come across the names in history classes (oh so long ago) and the occasional novel covering this period, but it was wonderful to have them brought to life as this author did, and we are once again reminded that was is indeed h***. One moment in the book that particularly touched me was during a retreat of Federal soldiers. One of them slipped in the mud and was told that since the general decreed the roads to be in good condition therefore there is no mud.
A very good book and recommended for anyone interested in this period of US History. Four stars instead of five as the author's habit of inserting a comma instead of the word "and" was a bit of a distration for me. I'm not sure where the editors were, and why they didn't correct it.
Book Description
Darleen Union and Eli Wade are childhood friends torn apart by a murder that has never been solved. Raised by her grandmother, Darleen is the heir to Hardigree Marble Company, which controls the small North Carolina town of Burnt Stand, and Eli is the boy genius destined to make something of himself when his family is forced to leave. Now, years later, long-buried secrets are about to be, literally, dug up. A story about destiny, and a great love affair, this is a rich, gothic, Southern story about the darker side of family myths.

Not her best.......2007-07-03
Smith rehashes plot themes of her A Place to Call Home, a much sweeter, more believable romance, in this novel.
A Great Book!.......2006-11-27
A book hasn't touched me to the point of crying in a long time. This book has really complex characters & stories. If you are looking for a few hours of really pleasurable reading this is it. I didn't want it to end. A multi-generational story that hooked me from the first. The author made me care so much for the characters I was wondering what happened to everyone once the story ended.
The Best!.......2006-07-17
The Stone Flower Garden is quite possibly Smith's best book to date. When the villain is so completely motivated, you can't help but be torn. Excellent characters, great setting, amazing story-telling. Once again, Smith delivers a book that can be read aloud as an example of quality prose.
Some Secrets Just have to Come to Light.......2005-01-07
Darleen Union and Eli Wade were childhood friends in Burnt Stand, North Carolina, who were torn apart by a murder that appears to point to Darleen's father as the prime suspect, but Eli's family leaves town in disgrace. Raised by her controling grandmother, Darleen is the heir to the Hardigree Marble Company, which controls the town and Eli is the boy genius destined to make something of himself when his family is forced to leave. But now, years later, long-buried secrets are about to be dug up when Eli returns. This is a book full of page turning suspense, plot twists and characters that I fell head over heals for. A riviting read.
My first Deborah Smith's book but not he last.......2003-07-13
The first time I've read Ms Smith's - 'The Stone Flower Garden'. I've enjoyed it to the point of not wanting to put it down. A romance with a lot of mistery and intrigue, and a lot fo forgiving.
A good blend of first and third person narrative (new to me).
Very entertaining. I shall look for more of her books.
