| The
year prior to the battle of Gettysburg was the high-water mark for the
Confederacy; single-minded, its superior officers were unified under the
command of General Robert E. Lee. GODS AND GENERALS: THE PAINTINGS OF
MORT KUNSTLER focuses on the strategic collaboration between Lee and
Thomas Stonewall Jackson in the battles leading up to July 1863: Second
Bull Run (or Manassas), Antietam, Fredericksburg, and Chancellorsville.
The roots of a tradition of undying valor and constancy were founded
here, and they have been a vibrant heritage for subsequent generations. This story, based on the best-selling novel by Jeff Shaara (Gods and Generals), also involves Union officers Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain and Winfield Scott Hancock, one a professor of religion from Bowdoin College, and the other a graduate of West Point. The dramatic text and pictures bring to life this crucial time as the Confederacy dominated the battlefields with their skillful speed and flexibility. JAMES
