Описание: A Pulitzer Prize winner and the beginning of the Shaara dynasty, The Killer Angels is the story of the battle of Gettysburg told from the point of view of the leaders and the men who fought there. In the four most bloody and courageous days of our nation's history, two armies battled over 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.

Описание: The New York Times bestselling prequel to the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic The Killer Angels
In this brilliantly written epic novel, Jeff Shaara traces the lives, passions, and careers of the great military leaders from the first gathering clouds of the Civil War. Here is Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, a hopelessly by-the-book military instructor and devout Christian who becomes the greatest commander of the Civil War; Winfield Scott Hancock, a captain of quartermasters who quickly establishes himself as one of the finest leaders of the Union army; Joshua Chamberlain, who gives up his promising academic career and goes on to become one of the most heroic soldiers in American history; and Robert E. Lee, never believing until too late that a civil war would ever truly come to pass. Profound in its insights into the minds and hearts of those who fought in the war, Gods and Generals creates a vivid portrait of the soldiers, the battlefields, and the tumultuous times that forever shaped the nation.

Описание: General Dwight Eisenhower commands a diverse army that must destroy Hitler's European fortress. On the coast of France, German commander Erwin Rommel prepares for the coming invasion, as the Fuhrer thwarts the strategies Rommel knows will succeed. Meanwhile, Sergeant Jesse Adams, a veteran of the 82nd Airborne, parachutes with his men behind German lines. And as the invasion force surges toward the beaches of Normandy, Private Tom Thorne of the 29th Infantry Division faces the horrifying prospects of fighting his way ashore on Omaha Beach, a stretch of coast more heavily defended than the Allied commanders anticipate. From G.I. to general, this story carries us through the war's most crucial juncture, the invasion that altered the flow of the war, and, ultimately, changed history.

Описание: The stunning conclusion to the father-son trilogy brings to life the final two years of the Civil War. With Gettysburg past and the war entering its third brutal year, it is at this critical moment that Lincoln places Ulysses S. Grant in command of the Union army--and turns the tide of the war. Here too is Robert E. Lee, devastated by Gettysburg but still determined, and Joshua Chamberlain, the college professor who will rise to become one of the greatest figures of the Civil War. Shaara dramatizes the minds and hearts of the individuals who fought in the staggering battles that culminated in Lee's epochal surrender at Appomattox.
