well it won the pulitzer prize in 1975 ~ i have a great deal of respect for shaara (and his story as a writer depresses the hell outta me, so don't read his biography ~ hahahahahaha).
as for the book, it's brilliant of course ~ if you're into that sort of thing.
it's not my style (i tend to shy away from historical fiction that's heavier on the history than the fiction, which, to its own credit, this is). but tells a helluva story ~ the kind that's so good you almost forget that it's true.
