    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.

    In the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, Michael Shaara crafted a remarkable Civil War narrative. His son, Jeff Shaara, continued this legacy with a bestselling prequel, and now completes the father-son trilogy, vividly depicting the final two years of the Civil War. As the story unfolds after Gettysburg, the war enters its third brutal year, revealing a widening rift between Washington's politicians and the generals on the ground. The Union Army, in dire need of decisive leadership, finds hope when Lincoln appoints Ulysses S. Grant to command, shifting the war's momentum. For Robert E. Lee, the aftermath of Gettysburg is devastating, worsened by the loss of Stonewall Jackson. Aware that the South cannot endure a war of attrition, Lee, supported by his devoted generals—Longstreet, Hill, and Stuart—resolves to fight relentlessly. The narrative also follows Joshua Chamberlain, the Union hero from Gettysburg, who rises to prominence during the war. Through intense battles, Shaara explores the complex relationship between Lee and Grant—two heroic yet troubled figures. From the Battle of the Wilderness to the siege of Petersburg and Lee's surrender at Appomattox, the novel captures the heart and soul of those who gave their all in this historic conflict, serving as a powerful conclusion to the trilogy.
