McPherson \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the four most bloody and courageous days of our nation's history, two armies fought for two conflicting dreams. One dreamed of freedom, the other of 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. Bright futures, untested innocence, and pristine beauty were also the casualties of war. Michael Shaara's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece is unique, sweeping, unforgettable--the dramatic story of the battleground for America's destiny.\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA reissue of a Pulitzer prize-winning classic, and now the major motion picture GETTYSBURG.

His first novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Broken Place\u003c\/i\u003e, was published in 1968. But it was a simple family vacation to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, in 1966 that gave him the inspiration for his greatest achievement, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel \u003ci\u003eThe Killer Angels\u003c\/i\u003e, published in 1974.
