Though Jeff Shaara writes historical fiction, not history, both authors recreate a wide gamut of military conflicts through vivid and meticulously researched prose. These authors explore the human element, from privates to generals, and provide contextualizing discussion of related politics and diplomacy. Shaara focuses mainly on the American point of view. -- Melissa Gray
Though Rick Atkinson takes a more journalistic tone, both military historians empathetically reveal the human side of war while ably discussing battle plans and providing vivid combat descriptions. Both also discuss a conflict's political and diplomatic context and its wider implications. Atkinson focuses on American involvement, mainly in World War II. -- Melissa Gray
