That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.How many vintage science fiction authors won a Pulitzer Prize? Ray Bradbury never won a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, but received a Pulitzer Special Citation in 2007 for his impact on literature. The answer is three. Booth Tarkington, MacKinlay Kantor and Michael Shaara. Booth Tarkington is one of only four novelists to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction more than once, along with William Faulkner, John Updike, and Colson Whitehead. Tarkington wrote only three short sci-fi stories. MacKinlay Kantor wrote eight short sci-fi stories and one science fiction novel If the South Had Won the Civil War released in 1961.Michael Shaara is the most well known of the three. Shaara was born in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1928. Before he began selling sci-fi for 2 cents a word in the 1950s he was a boxer and a police officer. He won his Pulitzer for his novel about the Battle of Gettysburg, The Killer Angels which won the award in 1975, and was showcased on the big screen in the 1993 movie Gettysburg starring Tom Berenger and Martin Sheen.Shaara also wrote the 1991 novel For Love of the Game which was made into the 1999 film with the same name starring Kevin Costner and Kelly Preston. But it all began back in 1952. He wrote two dozen short sci-fi stories and this was his first.

If you're visiting Gettysburg soon, you might want to listen to this episode (and all our others) before taking any tour. History podcasts, like this one, like to get deep into the weeds. While that might be good for the lifelong Gettysnerd™, most visitors to Gettysburg have never even seen the movie, let alone read a book about it, so they are coming at it cold. Where did I get that statistic? Totally made it up, but I made it up based on meeting thousands of visitors over the last 18-20 years. Anyway, I asked LBGs Bob Steenstra and Deb Novotny, both retired educators, to help me break down the battle of Gettysburg to what you need to understand before diving in. As much as we try to keep it at a 30,000-foot level, we do dive into the weeds once in a while. Maybe it will make sense to you newbies, maybe it won't, but it will someday. Enjoy your visit and and we hope we can soon count you among the ranks of Gettysnerds™ out there!

Before 1862, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain had rarely left his home state of Maine, where he was a trained minister and mild-mannered professor at Bowdoin College. His colleagues were shocked when he volunteered for the Union army, but he was undeterred and later became known as one of the North's greatest heroes: On the second day at Gettysburg, after running out of ammunition at Little Round Top, he ordered his men to wield their bayonets in a desperate charge down a rocky slope that routed the Confederate attackers. Despite being wounded at Petersburg—and told by two surgeons he would die—Chamberlain survived the war, going on to be elected governor of Maine four times and serve as president of Bowdoin College.  How did a stuttering young boy come to be fluent in nine languages and even teach speech and rhetoric? How did a trained minister find his way to the battlefield? Award-winning historian Ronald C. White delves into these contradictions in this cradle-to-grave biography of General Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, from his upbringing in rural Maine to his tenacious, empathetic military leadership and his influential postwar public service, exploring a question that still plagues so many veterans: How do you make a civilian life of meaning after having experienced the extreme highs and lows of war?  Chamberlain is familiar to millions from Michael Shaara's now-classic novel of the Civil War, The Killer Angels, and Ken Burns's timeless miniseries The Civil War, but in On Great Fields: The Life and Unlikely Heroism of Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain (Random House, 2023), White captures the complex and inspiring man behind the hero. Heavily illustrated and featuring nine detailed maps, this gripping, impeccably researched portrait illuminates one of the most admired but least known figures in our nation's bloodiest conflict.

As a man, how often do you think about... The Civil War? Well, if you've joined us on this season three book club, the answer is likely often. Join us as we discuss the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic from author Michael Shaara, about the generals of Gettysburg and the brooding, emo moods that define them

Conquest Over Time by Michael Shaara audiobook. Pat Travis, a spacer renowned for his luck, is suddenly quite out of it. His job is to beat his competitors to sign newly-Contacted human races to commercial contracts... But what can he do when he finds he's on a planet that consults astrology for literally every major decision - and he has arrived on one of the worst-aspected days in history? Michael Shaara, later to write the Pulitzer-winning novel "The Killer Angels", wrote this story for Fantastic Universe in 1956.

Gettysburg is a 1993 American epic war film about the Battle of Gettysburg in the American Civil War. Written and directed by Ronald F. Maxwell, the film was adapted from the 1974 historical novel The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara. It features an ensemble cast, including Tom Berenger as James Longstreet, Jeff Daniels as Joshua Chamberlain, Martin Sheen as Robert E. Lee, Stephen Lang as George Pickett, and Sam Elliott as John Buford.Purchase the CD used in our show at Gettysburg CD (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store)

Over on Waypoint I've spent about a month looking back at Sid Meier's Gettysburg and teaching the game to the rest of the crew (with varying levels of success). But since I was already hip-deep in 90s Civil War culture, Troy and I decided it was time to tackle one of the films that we've been intending to discuss for years: 1993's Gettysburg, directed by Ron Maxwell and bankrolled by Ted Turner. There are a lot of issues with Gettysburg. It's evasive on the subject of slavery, wanting both to ennoble is white Union heroes by reminding us that theirs was an army of liberation but to not think too deeply on who was being liberated or from what. Because it is also a product of Lost Cause traditions where the conflict was predominantly one about culture, or as the foppish British observer in this story declares, the root of the conflict is the “different dreams” of its antagonists. Not pictured: the Confederate dream. It's also a very incomplete military history of the battle of Gettysburg but this really stems from the decisions author Michael Shaara made with his novel The Killer Angels, which finds its central narrative drama in James Longstreets' prescience that Robert E. Lee is marching the army into a decisive defeat while on the Union side the story is told from the perspective of characters who do recognize the stakes and the dangers and have the agency to rise to the moment. It's the stuff of a great war novel but not of a comprehensive military history, and so Gettysburg ends up being a film where Union command is effectively invisible. However, within those choices Gettysburg remains, as Troy says, one of the all-time great battle films. The murkiness in which decisions are made, the clarity of a commander's intentions to his subordinates, the places where the rubber of generalship meets the road of combat… all of this is brilliantly rendered in Gettysburg and, for me and Troy, maintains it as a favorite even for all of its manifest flaws. We also decided that this episode, because it's so directly in dialogue with a ton of work I'm doing over at Waypoint and on streams there, is one we'd just make public instead of reserving it for the Patreon. Troy and I love having these monthly chats for our backers (and our last one on Knight's Tale and Marie Antoinette was another favorite) but here it felt like a useful place to show how we set these discussion about history movies in the context of all the other work we do as critics and professional strategy nerds. And by the way, after having tackled some heavier films of late, next month we're giving ourselves a break with Branagh's Death on the Nile as well as the 1978 version. Troy is trying to convince me to watch the Suchet one was well, and while Suchet is basically to Poirot what Jeremy Brett is to Sherlock Holmes, I've been warned that version is not one of the better Suchet adaptations. But we will at least be alluding to it in that conversation, even if we are focusing on the 2021 and ‘78 versions.

Welcome back to beyond the big screen. We have another installment of Hollywood hates history today. This is the fourth and final part of our four-part conversation on just the wonderful and historically accurate. But also highly entertaining, 1993, classic Gettysburg.We're joined as we have been in the past three episodes by two civil war, fanatics and podcast, or Sean MacGyver of the common take it, Texas history podcast and professor James early, a frequent contributor to beyond the big screen, but also the history of the papacy podcast and Scott ranks history unplugged podcast.Today, we will wrap up the battle, which [00:01:00] will include. Dissection of how the movie lines up with the main source material for the movie in the 1974 historical fiction, novel and Pulitzer prize winner, the killer angels by Michael Shaara. We have a ton to talk about this episode to you think we talked a ton about the other parts of the book and movie will have even more.If you have a historical movie, you either love or hate. Let me know. And maybe we can work together to create another episode of Hollywood hates history. I have a ton of ideas, but I'd love to hear yours. Thank you again for listening and I will see you next time beyond the big screen.all right, welcome back everybody. Now we've, we've discussed the prelude to the battle day to day one day two. And now we're finally at the ultimate [00:02:00] day of the battle day three Friday, July 3rd, 1863. James, why don't you set us up with day three. All right. Well, the overall, uh, description of what happened on this day is actually fairly simple to state.Generally, even though the Confederates had been driven back on day two, he felt they'd come so close. He felt, oh, if we just hit them one more time. Uh, as we've already seen, long street did not want to do a nother head-on assault against veteran, federal troops who were dug in on high ground. But Lee, just in, I've heard, it said his blood was up, his fighting spirit was up.He really felt just one more push and they will break. He felt like the center was especially weak. So he ordered once again, a general. To attack Culp's hill, which again, using my analogy of a clock that's about one o'clock and the [00:03:00] union line swings around from two or one all the way around to six.O'clock going counterclockwise, but it's really more like a fish hook or an ear. But anyway, so general Yule attacks about. Uh, in the morning and it, it even takes part of Culp's hill, but the Federalist drive them back and around 11 o'clock that is over with then Lee decides he wants to hit the center.He feels like because the center has the center, didn't get hit very hard on day two, but they, the center. Or I should say Mead, the overall union commander had to strip the center and send troops to the right and to the left to support them because they were under assault. He felt like the center would be spread really thin.Now the center is on cemetery Ridge. So on my clock analogy go from 12 o'clock down to about five or so that is the union center. But again, they're on a Ridge [00:04:00] and the. Confederate troops are off to the west a little bit about a mile to the left, and they're going to have to March across almost a sloping ground wide open ground.No. Uh, just fields of grass going uphill and over almost about a mile long March. I've heard anything from a quarter of a mile to a mile. So something but along March, but Lee thinks they can do it. And he orders long street to lead it. Now, long street doesn't want to lead it. He realizes that it's going to be a complete disaster and he asks actually, Uh, Lee would put AP hill in charge of it, but Lisa's know you're my best core commander.I want you to lead it. So, uh, as we've mentioned before, long street had three divisions. One led by general hood, one led by general McCloskey and the third led by picket hood. And my claws were really banged up and really hurting from day two. So they're going to stay out of this one long [00:05:00] streets. Only division that's going to attack is going to.Pick it division, which was fresh. They had not so far participated in the battle, but that's not enough. And Lee realizes that. So he strips away a couple of Hills divisions, one led by Johnson pedigree and one led by, uh, Isaac Trimble. And so those three divisions are going to do what is now called pickets charged.They're going to March across. As I mentioned about a mile long open area, gradually uphill to attack the federals on cemetery Ridge. And before that there's going to be a candidate, but we'll get to that in a minute. Um, so there's going to be a candidate and then they're going to March up there and push the Federalist back, take the high ground and, and maybe persuade, pursue the federals all the way down to Washington, perhaps.So that is the plan. We will see how that works out when we actually talk about the movie. And [00:06:00] so Chamberlain is, um, oh, I'm sorry. Did you wanna introduce it, Steve? No, you go ahead and yeah. Let's um, yeah, let's hear where Chamberlain is because he's kind of in an interesting spot. And yet again. Yeah. So his, his men have just been fighting a difficult battle the previous day.And so, uh, he gets orders to go reprint report to the, save a spot in the, in the union lines, right in the center. Yeah. Because there's not any kind of thing happened there. Um, and so he goes there. Um, so the interesting things about the movie, um, tremble was the, the general earlier who had, was Trimble part of Hills division core, or was he part of UL's core?Actually, I believe he was part of UL's I missed. Okay. So he takes her regimen from. Hill and you're in a regiment from you. You'll okay. Yeah. Uh, he's the one who complained about all earlier, um, pedigree is played by, uh, if you've ever seen one [00:07:00] of the heels only James Bond in one movie, but George Lazenby.So you have a former James Bond playing a Confederate general. Um, I didn't notice that until I watched it. So a long street has self doubt. He doubts, he thinks this attack's going to fail. And he tells me that, and Lee says, you need to do what you do your duty. And he doesn't think meat has that many men in the center, which is wrong.Uh, and then long street asks if another commander can lead the attack. And did he say no? Or did he just not. Uh, no, uh, I think in the book he just doesn't respond. He's embarrassed by the, by the request. And so he just ignored him. I don't recall. It's been a little while. Yeah. So, uh, George Pickett comes up with his division and long street tells him he's going to lead the attack and pick it's excited.He says, we're going to do it. We're going to, we're going to take, we're going to take. We're going to charge and we're going to take it. And they cheer for long for Lee as he rides by and the cheer for long [00:08:00] street and then long street orders, uh, that his, our chiller commander, Colonel Alexander, uh, he's a young guy.So Alexander, uh, became a Colonel, uh, after the Fredericksburg battle earlier, uh, in December, uh, because he had, uh, held off, uh, basically a whole union division with just his battery of horse out to artillery on the Confederate. Uh, and prevented the main Confederate line, which was, uh, behind the Stonewall from being flanked.Uh, and basically union just had to March up and get killed. Like the Confederates are about to do here in Gettysburg. Uh, so Alexander was the, was long streets, uh, artillery, commander, uh, and he tells them, I need you to clear out the federal artillery. Uh, and Alexander says, they're going to do it, but they're short on ammunition.

I'd love to hear from you, and maybe we can arrange to discuss some of these great, and maybe not so great movies.Thank you again for listening and I will see you next time beyond the big screen.so here we are, the first actual day of battle, which would, um, was Wednesday, July 1st, 1863. James, why don't you give us a quick overview of the fighting and then Sean, we can dig in a little bit deeper. Okay. So as we'd seen the Confederate, I mean, sorry, the union cavalry under general, John Buford was deployed on [00:02:00] seminary Ridge, just west of Gettysburg.Good high ground. And the Confederates are there and they fighting breaks out. Generally had ordered. The, uh, his division commanders that were in the front of his column, not to engage, not to get involved in combat, but they just couldn't help. It. It just, it just happened because they were being attacked by the, by the unions, uh, forces.They're the, the cavalry that we mentioned. So Lee finally says, okay, go ahead and attack. And he sends in a second division. Uh, there's one by Heath. He general Heath is the commander of, one of the divisions that got involved in the early fighting in general. Pender also gets involved and. So the cavalry's outnumbered, so they begin to fall back.And then the F the first of the union Corps arrives it's under the command of general. John Reynolds, John Reynolds had a reputation of being one of the finest generals that all the army general Reynolds had actually been offered command of the entire army instead of meat, but he turned it down so general Reynolds, his [00:03:00] core comes up and they get into a very intense fight between the Confederates who are gradually advancing the.Uh, to make a long story. Short general Reynolds is killed, uh, by a Confederate sharp shooter. He's replaced temporarily, at least by general Abner Doubleday. This is before he invented baseball. No, I'm just kidding. He didn't really mean baseball, but it really was Doubleday. Uh, the Confederates forced the union soldiers back.They have to retreat through the town of Gettysburg. There is a little bit of house to house fighting, but for the most part, it's a solid Confederate advanced pushing back the, uh, the blue coats. And at the same time as this general UL's division is pushing in from the north. Those divisions. Pushes, uh, more of the union army back and the union army at the end of day, one ends up on the high ground, the very high ground that general Buford had hoped not to fall into the hands of the Confederate Confederates and it [00:04:00] does it.And so they end up on seminary, seminary, sorry, cemetery Ridge. It's confusing because there's a seminary Ridge, which is where. Tennis cemetery. The first battle is at seminary and then they go to cemetery, which, uh, I have been to seminary and someone argue it's actually the same thing anyway. Uh, so that by the end of day one, the union army is.In a very good defensive position there on cemetery hill, which Sean already mentioned cemetery Ridge, which goes down to the south. And then also they have people on Culp's hill, which is to the east and the position is shaped like a fish hook. It's an excellent position. Uh, it's very good in, in the terms of the fact that it has interior lines, which means.You can quickly get forces from one side of the line to the other. We'll put a map up or actually Steve, we'll put a map up there, right? Steve, um, [00:05:00] Steve will do that and he's a good guy, but anyway, you really need a map for this, but just think of an inverted fish hook. And, uh, one of the things that's very important is that generally orders general, you will to take that hill if practicable, he means cemetery hill.And that phrase if practicable, yeah. Extremely important because if Jackson had been the commander Jackson, would've said, oh, heck yeah, I'm taking the hill and he probably would've done it. Or at least he would've come close. General Yule decides it's not practical. So he does not take the hill. I guess that's a summary of day one, or at least from my perspective, what else you got?That's such a good place to stop too, because that's such an odd wording practicable, because practicable sounds like practical. There is a pretty decent shade of difference between those two words was Lee being too clever by half by using that phrase that he [00:06:00] just used it the wrong way. Well, you have to keep in mind.Lee had been working with Stonewall Jackson for well over a year, and those two men could almost read each other's minds. Uh, Lee made very vague orders. A lot of the time. And he would just tell Jackson, I'm just paraphrasing here, but just get it done. Take that hill, do this. If you can. And Jackson would, would almost always do it.Jackson was very aggressive and he just had a knack for understanding what Lee wanted and getting it done. You will, as a different man, general you'll, uh, is not Stonewall Jackson. He's nowhere near as aggressive and he's brand new to the job. He's unsure of himself. He doesn't want to risk. He has been wounded.He doesn't want. Getting his army destroyed. So yes, it's a very different situation. A couple of things. So later on in the book, lung street makes a note to another character that, uh, to an observer, that Lee's habit was to give the orders to his subordinates and then to step back and [00:07:00] let them execute. He was not a micromanager.He was not a person who. Got into the battle and was moving units around he's he came up with the strategy, uh, and gave it to his, his, his core commanders and his division commanders to fulfill. The other thing was. He, uh, as far as you will goes, you'll was a fine division commander, uh, who had served under, under Jackson and long street.Makes a good point in the book that some end Lee, I think is he, the leader Longstreet makes the point that some people. Some in our good regiment commanders that don't make good brigade brigade, commanders. Some men are good division commanders that don't make good core commanders. Uh, so it's just, uh, it just varies, you know, if you push a person up and promote them, they may not execute in the same way at their level.APO was a great example of that. AP hill was one of the finest division commanders of the war. [00:08:00] Uh, he wasn't as effective as a Corps commander. So you know, that that's the other thing. And then the final thing is. I E Lee was a gentlemen of the, of the south, uh, and. It was a much different time. The language was more courtly.And I think that's where that practicable comes from is he, he had a gentlemanly way of asking for things of his subordinates. Whereas someone like Patton would say, go take that damn hill right in the later war until later, or even a grant who was a more rough homespun or a, or a Sherman would say your orders are to take the.You know, it was, it was a gentleman's way to ask his, his men, his subordinates to deliver something, to do something for them. Uh, it was a, it was not necessarily a commander's way in the way we probably think of, and, and it had worked for him up to that point. And

Of course, Michael Shaara is the author who could very well be rsponsible for helping to reignite interest in Gettysburg in the latter portion of the 20th Century. Ken Burns cites the Killer Angels as the book that inspired him to make his epic documentary "The Civil War." That documentary brought Gettysburg a rise in visitation. Then, a few short years later, Ron Maxwell's "Gettysburg" was released and visitation soared. That movie came out when I was in 9th grade, or thereabouts, and it immediately captured my imagination.    But Michael passed away before he could see any of this. His son, Jeff, dutifully picked up the torch and carried it on into a writing career yielding an impressive 18 titles. We'll have Jeff on shortly to talk about his own works. But, we asked him to first come on and talk about his father's work and his father, the man. Enjoy. 

We Can't Keep Life From Being Hard  (Replay of "Choose Your Ground" from last season) But we CAN choose the ground on which we fight life's battles! Proverbs 29:18(NIV) Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom's instruction. Today, we're going to talk about vision, the Civil War, the 5/5/5 Rule we taught our kids, and the value of choosing. We're going to learn to choose our ground, and we're going to start today. Michael Shaara's great book, The Killer Angels Scriptures Mentioned: Proverbs 29:18(NIV) Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom's instruction. Isaiah 30:1-3 (NIV) “Ah, stubborn children,” declares the Lord, “who carry out a plan, but not mine, and who make an alliance, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin; 2 who set out to go down to Egypt, without asking for my direction, to take refuge in the protection of Pharaoh and to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt! 3 Therefore shall the protection of Pharaoh turn to your shame, and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt to your humiliation. Proverbs 22:3 A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, But the simple pass on and are punished. Ecclesiastes 7:11-12 Wisdom is good with an inheritance, And profitable to those who see the sun. For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense, But the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it. I Kings 19:11-12 (RSV) 11 And he said, “Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice. James 1: 5-8 (NLT) 5 If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. 6 But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. 7 Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.  Click here if you'd like to learn how to support the Podcast!

In a war of brother versus brother, theirs has become the most famous broken friendship: Union general Winfield Scott Hancock and Confederate general Lewis Armistead. Michael Shaara's The Killer Angels (1974) and the movie Gettysburg (1993), based on the novel, presented a close friendship sundered by war, but history reveals something different from the legend that holds up Hancock and Armistead as sentimental symbols of a nation torn apart. In this deeply researched book, Tom McMillan sets the record straight. Even if their relationship wasn't as close as the legend has it, Hancock and Armistead knew each other well before the Civil War. Armistead was seven years older, but in a small prewar army where everyone seemed to know everyone else, Hancock and Armistead crossed paths at a fort in Indian Territory before the Mexican War and then served together in California, becoming friends—and they emotionally parted ways when the Civil War broke out. Their lives wouldn't intersect again until Gettysburg, when they faced each other during Pickett's Charge. Armistead died of his wounds at Gettysburg on July 5, 1863; Hancock went on to be the Democratic nominee for president in 1880, losing to James Garfield. Tom McMillan, a lifelong student of the Civil War, has served on the board of trustees of Pittsburgh's Heinz History Center, the board of directors of the Friends of Flight 93 National Memorial, and the marketing committee of the Gettysburg Foundation.

Take our love, take our land, Podcast work is back at hand, Here's a fresh new mp3 You can hear Comic Belief! Shiny, friends! Brand new track! Comin' from a different tack: Buckle up and listen free You might watch it differently ... Welcome back, friends! Megan and Ben are swinging in to Season 3 of Comic Belief with a dive into the cult classic Firefly, with a lot of what we love about it on display. But this isn't just a lovefest -- turns out "take my land" gets a bit awkward when you took it from someone else first and forgot to mention that. We dig into some of the bones of the show that lie in the storytelling of the Civil War novel The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara, and where we see Firefly inheriting some of Shaara's limitations along the way. We dive into whether the metaphor gets better or does more damage when Joss Whedon takes some of the sins of history out of it. And we take a pass through how the characters model faith, and where some of Whedon's own suspicions about it might be showing through in a way that stops the show from really giving an earnest voice to people who add a bit of, shall we say, belief to their comics. But is there maybe a saint hidden in there after all? All that and more, polished up and edited for the ride to your next job with your pals. Shiny!

Andy Rothman has interpreted the Chinese economy for people who have serious and practical decisions to make since his early career heading up macroeconomic research at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing. He is now an investment strategist for Matthews Asia, where he continues to focus on the Chinese economy and writes the Sinology column. His analysis often diverges from what’s in the headlines, and the contrast between Andy’s interpretation and the dominant, deeply gloomy media narrative of the last year or more is especially pronounced. In this podcast, Sinica hosts Jeremy and Kaiser ask Andy to explain why he’s still bullish after all this time.
