Ten best novels about the US Civil War

The staff of the Christian Science Monitor came up with a list of the ten best novels of the U.S. Civil War.

One title on the list:

The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara

This 1975 Pulitzer Prize winner tells the story of the horrendous four-day Gettysburg Battle from the perspective of various protagonists on both sides of the divide. This is the book that Civil War documentarian Ken Burns says "changed my life."
