I'm in the middle of the book GODS AND GENERALS. Believe it or not I thought the movie was an improvement. Some of the dialogue in the novel slips into a more modern language which is a distraction. I finished Shaara's GONE FOR SOLDIERS, about the Mexican War, prior to starting G&G. I think it is a much more well done book.

I met someone at a Memorial Day picnic who was an extra in "Gods & Generals," and he was impressed with the whole project. I saw the movie but barely remember Bruce Boxleiter's role.
