Summer Reading: Laura Hillenbrand

As our summer reading series continues, we hear from Laura Hillenbrand, author of Seabiscuit: An American Legend (Ballantine Books; ISBN: 0449005615). Hillenbrand discusses two of her favorite books, both set during the Civil War, Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain (Vintage Books; ISBN: 0375700757) and Michael Shaara's The Killer Angels (Ballantine Books; ISBN: 0345348109).
