Helpful Score: 1

Based on my reading of several non-fiction accounts of the battle, this follows history to a "T." It's been a while since I've read this and the other books, but I can't think of where Shaara diverged from history. Unlike, say, Island of the Blue Dolphins or First Man of Rome, where there is scant historical record, this battle has been so dissected that it would be hard to get a new fictional perspective on it.
