The Killer Angels was written by Michael Shaara and was first published in 1974. Though The Killer Angels was not immediately popular during Shaara’s lifetime, the novel won the 1975 Pulitzer Prize for Literature.

Despite this award, the novel was still not well known until the 1993 movie Gettysburg, which propelled the novel to number one on the NY Times bestseller list.

Shaara visited Gettysburg and after seeing the battlefield and learning about the Battle of Gettysburg and its significance, Shaara started to write a historical novel using the real historical figures Robert E.
