Michael Shaara was born in Jersey City in 1929 and graduated from Rutgers University in 1951. His early science fiction short stories were published in Galaxy magazine in 1952. He later began writing other works of fiction and published more than seventy short stories in many magazines, including The Saturday Evening Post, Cosmopolitan, and Redbook. His first novel, The Broken Place, 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 The Killer Angels, published in 1974. Michael Shaara went on to write two more novels, The Noah Conspiracy and For Love of the Game, which was published posthumously after his death in 1988.
"MY FAVORITE HISTORICAL NOVEL . . . A superb re-creation of the Battle of Gettysburg, but its real importance is its insight into what the war was about, and what it meant."--James M. McPherson, Author of Battle Cry of Freedom In the four most bloody and courageous days of our nation's history, two armies fought for two 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. Shattered futures, forgotten innocence, and crippled beauty were also the casualties of war. The Killer Angels is unique, sweeping, unforgettable--a dramatic re-creation of the battleground for America's destiny. "REMARKABLE. . . A BOOK THAT CHANGED MY LIFE . . . I had never visited Gettysburg, knew almost nothing about that battle before I read the book, but here it all came alive."--Ken Burns, Filmmaker, The Civil War

評分2013年11月19日一早,美國約有上萬民眾齊集賓夕法尼亞州葛底斯堡國傢公墓。150年前,林肯總統就是在這裏發錶瞭著名的《在葛底斯堡國傢公墓落成典禮上的演說》。作為美國南北戰爭的轉摺點,葛底斯堡之役的重要性不言自明。 經典戰役,總會吸引作傢的目光,激發他們的創...
評分這是南北戰爭中最慘烈的一場,無數南北雙方的戰士葬身於此,也是林肯總統最著名的葛底斯堡演說的緣起。 主人公之一張伯倫的父親,在聽完兒子背誦莎士比亞後,不善言詞的他沉吟許久,答道:“如果人是天使的話,那也是murderin’ angels”。由是得題。 雖然描寫的是內戰,但是雙...
