The novel, "The Killer Angels" and the movie based on it, "Gettysburg", are great works of historical fiction. Millions love them and have gained an interest in the Battle of Gettysburg because of them. But where do works of art divert from history?

D. Scott Hartwig's book, "A Killer Angels Companion," helps to clear the air between fact and fiction. Scott sat down with us in June of 2018 for what we originally referred to as a "deep dive" to discuss the major characters and plot points of the book and film versus what happened in real life. This is a must-listen for any student of the Battle of Gettysburg.
