True, the book is a good piece of speculative fiction, based generally
on the event of that battle. It is, however, a good primer on the issue
of military leadership. In fact, the US Army's Command and General Staff
Officer's Course at Fort Leavenworth, KS, uses this book as a text on
leadership. If the movie follows the book at all, you will gain a life
long admiration for one Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain. <imho>
