An absolutely brilliant novel, winner of the Pulitzer Prize, this book personalizes the Civil War in a way that had not been done before. The participant perspectives pioneered by the characterizations in this story are now commonplace, but it has never been done better. As much as I had read about the history of the Battle of Gettysburg, it was not until reading this that I felt I truly began to understand what happened. This is a MUST-read book!
