Jeff Shaara is Jan 2000. If you enjoy this novel, it is available for buy as a paperback from Barnes & Noble or Indigo, as an ebook on the Amazon Kindle store, or as an audiobook on Audible.
As the crucial Battle of Gettysburg draws near, Jeff Shaara examines the lives of Generals Lee, Hancock, Jackson, and Chamberlain in a kind of prelude to his father Michael Shaara's epic book The Killer Angels, published in 1974.
Shaara shows how each overcame inadequacies and mistakes when put to the test, but also capturing the disappointment of both Hancock and Lee early in their careers, Lee's fight with loyalty, Jackson's strong Christian ethic, and Chamberlain's complete lack of experience.
The four men's viewpoints vividly depict the reality of war, especially with regard to the Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville engagements.
