In this episode, we sit down with Jeff Shaara, bestselling historical novelist and author of Gods and Generals, The Last Full Measure, and The Eagle’s Claw. Shaara continues the literary legacy of his father, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Shaara, whose novel The Killer Angels remains a defining work on the Battle of Gettysburg.
Join us as we discuss Jeff’s transformative childhood experience visiting Gettysburg, the intricate process of writing historical fiction, and the emotional responsibility of continuing his father’s work. Together, we explore how the power of narrative shapes our collective memory and how individual stories illuminate the human dimensions of history.
