Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Author Jeff M. Shaara rounds out the Civil War Trilogy started by his late father Michael Shaara, whose book The Killer Angels described the Battle of Gettysburg. While Gods and Generals covered action prior to Gettysburg, The Last Full Measure picks up with Confederate General Robert E. Lee's retreat from Pennsylvania and continues through the end of the war. The younger Shaara focuses on the characters of Lee and Union commander Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, both of whom play prominent roles in the earlier books. He also introduces a new one: Ulysses S. Grant, the Union general who would finally defeat the South--something no soldier before him could manage. The Last Full Measure is often exciting and poignant, and fans of The Killer Angels and Gods and Generals won't be disappointed. A nicely boxed edition of this classic historical fiction. --John Miller

5.0 out of 5 stars Three outstanding books on the Civil War, March 7, 2000
This review is from: The Civil War Trilogy: Gods and Generals / The Killer Angels / The Last Full Measure (Paperback)
Yes, these books are fiction, but they are all based on fact. Although the authors take some liberties with specific facts, most of the writing follows very closely to the actual events of the Civil War. When you read other "non-fiction" books on the Civil War, the accuracy of these books will be evident. If you liked Killer Angels, you will love Gods and Generals and the Last Full Measure. Jeff Shaara writes exactly like his father and completes the entire story of the Civil War. I couldn't put them down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, excellent and excellent!, July 23, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Civil War Trilogy: Gods and Generals / The Killer Angels / The Last Full Measure (Paperback)
Several months ago I saw the movie "Gettysburg" based on Michael Saara's novel- The Killer Angels. Since I was deeply moved by the film I decided to buy the book. I couldn't put it down- it was even stronger that the film. M Saara didn't try to stick to one side of the story: he wrote it from the point of view of those who took part in the Civil War with no regard to the colour of their uniform. He portrays us the battles and the feelings of the soldiers from both camps in an intelligent and beautiful way and style. After his father's death, Jeff Saara decided to continue his work by writing two other books which all together make a wonderful and touching trilogy. The two novels written by Jeff are as good as 'The Killer Angels' and I would like to shake his hand and tell him how breathtaking and deeply human this trilogy is. Good work! Don't miss it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Moving, inspirational, educational - a must read!, November 5, 1999
By 
Susan Tribble (Merrimac, MA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Civil War Trilogy: Gods and Generals / The Killer Angels / The Last Full Measure (Paperback)
This trilogy has touched me like no other books based on historical events have. Knowing full-well that these books fictionalize certain aspects of the characters, they nonetheless stir the emotions and evoke sympathy equally for both sides. Based on the descriptions of the early part of the war, I felt exasperation for the inept decisions of the northern leaders; later, as the inevitable end approached, I ached for Lee and the suffering of the confederate soldiers. These books opened up issues that in my previous studies were depicted in much more black and white terms. By the stirring depictions of the actions and characters, myriad and complex social and economic issues are raised, many of which continue to be debated today. These books have inspired me to pursue additional studies in the Civil War. I highly recommend that they be read by every American; they provide an interesting and emotional baptism into the most pivotal period of our nation's history.
