Gods and Generals (The Civil War Trilogy #1)
Jeff Shaara
Rated: 4.04 of 5 stars

· 28 ratings · 512 pages · Published: 28 May 1996
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.
