| Notes: | Shaara won the Pulitzer Prize for this gripping recreation of the Battle of Gettysburg. Here is the one book that lets you experience the sheer terror and exhilaration of Pickett’s Charge, makes you privy to the late-night councils of Lee and Longstreet and sets you down beside the men of North and South who fought like avenging angels to decide the fate of a nation. COMMENTS — The movie, Gettysburg, was based on this book and stays true to the story. While very, very long, it is worth watching for the chance to see Ted Turner get shot. He produced the movie and put himself in as an extra in the Pickett’s Charge scene. As he’s climbing over a fence, he is shot and falls. |
