Courage on Little Round Top: A Historical Novel

Michael Shaara's The Killer Angels is the sweeping story of the Battle of Gettysburg told from the point of view of officers from both sides of the fight.

Thomas Eishen's Courage on Little Round Top is a detailed look at one of the battle's most beloved soldiers, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain.

Filling the void left by Shaara, Eishen also tells the story from the other side of the fight for Little Round Top through the eyes of Second Lieutenant Robert Wicker, the young officer Chamberlain captured on the bloody slopes during the Twenty Maine's bayonet charge.

Courage on Little Round Top is a balanced story of the events that led these two men to their historic encounter.
