In the four most bloody and courageous days of our nations's history, two armies fought for two dreams. One dreamed of freedom, the other 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. Shattered futures, forgotten innocence, and crippled beauty were also the casualties of war.

THE KILLER ANGELS is unique, sweeping, unforgettable - a dramatic re-creation of the battle ground for America's destiny.

"Remarkable... a book that changed my life... I had never visited Gettysburg, knew almost nothing about that battle before I read the book, but here it all came alive." -Ken Burns, Filmmaker
