And one was made into a really good TV movie and one into an awful cinematic release.
I read an historical fiction book about Gettysburg. It was fiction in that the main characters were fictional, but it just used them to tell the story of Gettysburg, so I think it was actually an excellent portrayal of the events. Any way after reading it I went to the Amazon comments section as I always do, and was surprised at the hatred toward "Killer Angels". Especially the portrayal of Chamberlain as some uber-heroic savior of the battle.
