His first novel, <i>The Broken Place</i>, was published in 1968. But it was a simple family vacation to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, in 1966 that gave him the inspiration for his greatest achievement, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel <i>The Killer Angels</i>, published in 1974. Michael Shaara went on to write two more novels, <i>The Noah Conspiracy</i> and <i>For Love of the Game</i>, which was published posthumously after his death in 1988.
