This is an excellent "prequel" to Shaara's father's "Killer Angels" covering Lee, Jackson, Chamberlain, and Hancock in the years before Gettysburg. The dinner at which Hancock and his best friend Armistead say goodbye, knowing that the next time they see each other will very likely be from opposite sides of the battlefield, moved me to tears.
