Gettysburg

This week is the anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg, and I happen to be reading a new novel called "Cain at Gettysburg" by Col. Ralph Peters. The blurb on the cover by Booklist states, "Surpasses Michael Shaara's classic The Killer Angels". I wouldn't go that far, but it isn't bad either, and I would put it third after Shelby Foote's "Stars in Their Courses".
