“My favorite historical novel . . . a superb re-creation of the Battle of Gettysburg, but its real importance is its insight into what the war was about, and what it meant.”—James M. McPherson In the four most bloody and courageous days of our nation’s history, two armies fought for two conflicting dreams. One dreamed of freedom, the other of a way of life. Far more than rifles and bullets were carried into battle. There were memories. There were promises. There was love. And far more than men fell on those Pennsylvania fields. Bright futures, untested innocence, and pristine beauty were also the casualties of war. Michael Shaara’s Pulitzer Prize–winning masterpiece is unique, sweeping, unforgettable—the dramatic story of the battleground for America’s destiny.BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Jeff Shaara's Blaze of Glory.

"It’s an amazing historical story, and I think the author wrote it perfectly. It’s a novel set in The Civil War, and it has all of the legends, Lawrence Chamberlain, James Longstreet, Robert E. Lee, and the list continues. The book honestly makes you feel as if you’re in that war. It is actually 100% real, but it’s so good it feels like fiction. "
