	Michael Shaara Biography
		Always a writer first, and a teacher second, Michael continued to write short stories, but always he knew there was a larger work to be pursued.
		Reflecting on an extraordinary experience with his family visiting the battlefield at Gettysburg, Michael became obsessed with telling the story of that momentous event through the eyes of the main characters themselves, something that had never been done.
		And, rediscovering the manuscript of the baseball story in Michael's files, his son Jeff presented it again to the New York publishing community, and Carroll & Graf published it in 1991.

		Michael Shaara won a Pulitzer Prize for the moving work that focuses on the one pivotal battle, the high-water mark of the War Between the States.
		I say this because Michael Shaara was able to capture male friendship, male envy and competition, male humor (which can be dark, sarcastic, and gross) and the manner in which males respond to a chain of command.
		Third, Shaara is superb at developing individual characters, exploring the internal dynamics that make them 'tick' and that lead them to take the actions and positions that they take under certain conditions, such as the stress of warfare.

		Michael Shaara earned his battle stripes--and a Pulitzer Prize--for The Killer Angels, a fictional resurrection of the Battle of Gettysburg, as serious a subject as a writer can confront.
		Shaara, who won a Pulitzer in 1975 for The Killer Angels, died just after the book was finished, and one feels he might have liked to give it a rewrite.
		Shaara succeeds in conveying the extraordinary physical and psychological demands of the professional game as well as the dizzying pleasures of its triumphs.

	Michael Shaara's "The Killer Angels"
		The ethos of these leaders is richened by the Shaara story.
		Shaara's writing style is terse and haphazard, his phrases spliced together like sabre slashes; he shuns conjunction in favor of the comma.
		By the same token, Shaara's book constantly returns to a sweeping, God's-eye-view of the battlefield.

	Killer Angels by Michael Shaara
		Michael does a fantastic job taking the events of one of the bloodiest battles in American History and telling others about it.
		Not only does Michael do a great job of interweaving fact with some fictional writing, he pulls in other parts of history and literature in the process.
		In a war for Italian independence, the 1859 Battle of Solferino was unexpected: Neither side knew the exact position of the other troops.

	Metroactive Books \| Jeff Shaara
		His 1974 masterpiece was a rare event indeed, the almost-perfect marriage of an author's style, philosophy, subject matter and story line--a historical novel that remains immensely popular with both critics, reading public, and historians.
		IN HIS "prequel," Gods and Generals, Jeff Shaara goes back to the first three years of the war and follows the same officers and the same themes as those in The Killer Angels, showing us how they all eventually converged in concert on the spoke-wheel roads leading into Gettysburg.
		Jeff Shaara has already announced that he is now working on a sequel to his father's book, calling it now a "trilogy." Adequate words escape me to describe my feeling about this.

		After the armies establish their position in the Monday section, the Union has a decisive advantage in its hold over the town.
		Of course nearly all readers know that the Union will repel Pickett’s charge, but Shaara’s back-and-forth method of making the Union seem on the brink of victory, then the Confederacy, and then the Union again makes the book more suspenseful.
		In the final section (Friday) Shaara breaks from his pattern (Union advantage, Confederate advantage, Union advantage, Union advantage) and tells of the Union victory.

	Michael Shaara Message Board
		I have not read this novel yet, although I will after now having seen the movie, Gettysburg, which was based on the book.
		I am very interested to know how and why Michael Shaara came up with the title for the novel, The Killer Angels.
		The movie makes it seem as though the title refers to the Union Army or perhaps more specifically to the troops commanded by Col. Chamberlain in the 20th Maine, but I would love to find a statement specifically from the author on this point.
