The writings series includes drafts of published and unpublished works and galley prints for published works by Michael Shaara. His early fiction was published in fantasy and science fiction magazines. By the late 1950s and early 1960s, Shaara broadened his focus to include mainstream fiction and began publishing short stories in Cosmopolitan, Redbook, and the Saturday Evening Post. He wrote four novels: The Broken Place (1968), The Killer Angels (1974), The Herald (1977), and For Love of the Game (published posthumously in 1991). After completing research, Michael Shaara spent four years writing The Killer Angels while teaching at Florida State University. When the novel was accepted to publish, Shaara was asked to change the working title "The Glory of the Coming" to "The Killer Angels".
