It was a family vacation to Gettysburg in 1966 that gave his father, Michael Shaara, the inspiration to write his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, "The Killer Angels," Jeff returned to the historic site with his father in 1970 to help him research the battlefield, and later he served as a consultant for the movie "Gettysburg," based on his father's bestselling classic. Director Ron Maxwell inspired and encouraged Jeff to write Gods and Generals. This is his first novel.
