Question: Michael Shaara and Albert Camus,have which mutual occupation?
Context: Gods and Generals is a novel which serves as a prequel to Michael Shaara's 1974 Pulitzer Prize-winning work about the Battle of Gettysburg, "The Killer Angels".  Written by Jeffrey Shaara after his father Michael's death in 1988, the novel relates events from 1858 through 1863 during the American Civil War, ending just as the two armies march toward Gettysburg.  Since 1988, Jeff Shaara has written "The Last Full Measure", which follows the events presented in "The Killer Angels". Michael Shaara (June 23, 1928 – May 5, 1988) was an American author of science fiction, sports fiction, and historical fiction.  He was born to Italian immigrant parents (the family name was originally spelled Sciarra, which in Italian is pronounced in a similar way) in Jersey City, New Jersey, graduated in 1951 from Rutgers University, where he joined Theta Chi, and served as a sergeant in the 82nd Airborne Division prior to the Korean War. "Reflections on the Guillotine" is an extended essay written in 1957 by Albert Camus.  In the essay Camus takes an uncompromising position for the abolition of the death penalty.  Camus's view is similar to that of Cesare Beccaria and the Marquis de Sade, the latter having also argued that murder premeditated and carried out by the state was the worst kind.  Camus states that he does not base his argument on sympathy for the convicted but on logical grounds and on proven statistics.  Camus also argues that capital punishment is an easy option for the government where remedy and reform may be possible. Herbert Lottman (August 16, 1927, Brooklyn - August 27, 2014, Paris) was an American author who specialized in writing biographies on French subjects.  An influential biographer, he published 17 biographies, 15 of which were related to French culture, commerce, or politics; including works on Albert Camus, Colette, Gustave Flaubert, Henri Philippe Pétain, Jules Verne, and the Rothschild banking family of France.  He wrote that, just before dying, Albert Camus was pledged to marry.  Camus's estate tried to block his book, partly because of this controversial statement. Albert Camus (] ; 7 November 1913 – 4 January 1960) was a French philosopher, author, and journalist.  His views contributed to the rise of the philosophy known as absurdism.  He wrote in his essay "The Rebel" that his whole life was devoted to opposing the philosophy of nihilism while still delving deeply into individual freedom.  He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957. Gettysburg is a 1993 American epic war film written and directed by Ronald F. Maxwell, adapted from the historical novel "The Killer Angels" (1974) by Michael Shaara, about the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War.  The film stars Tom Berenger, Jeff Daniels, and Martin Sheen; its score was composed by Randy Edelman.  The film "Gods and Generals" is an adaptation of the 1996 novel of the same name by Jeffrey Shaara and was filmed as a prequel to Maxwell's "Gettysburg". Marcel J. Mélançon is a Canadian philosopher and scientist.  He was born in Saint-Barnabé, Quebec, in 1938, and is mostly known for his book on the French philosopher Albert Camus "Albert Camus, An Analysis of his thought" (Albert Camus.  Analyse de sa pensée).  He has mostly worked together with the biologist Richard D. Lambert. Gone for Soldiers is a 2000 historical novel by Jeffrey Shaara about the Mexican-American War.  It was written as a stand-alone novel, but could also be seen as a prequel to the Civil War trilogy written by Shaara and his father, Michael Shaara, introducing some of the key protagonists in the campaigns that first won them fame.  The action begins with the Battle of Vera Cruz and follows Winfield Scott and his army as they march toward Mexico City, including the Battle of Cerro Gordo and culminating in the Battle of Chapultepec and the fall of Mexico City. The Fall (French: La Chute ) is a philosophical novel by Albert Camus.  First published in 1956, it is his last complete work of fiction.  Set in Amsterdam, "The Fall" consists of a series of dramatic monologues by the self-proclaimed "judge-penitent" Jean-Baptiste Clamence, as he reflects upon his life to a stranger.  In what amounts to a confession, Clamence tells of his success as a wealthy Parisian defense lawyer who was highly respected by his colleagues; his crisis, and his ultimate "fall" from grace, was meant to invoke, in secular terms, The Fall of Man in the Garden of Eden.  "The Fall" explores themes of innocence, imprisonment, non-existence, and truth.  In a eulogy to Albert Camus, existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre described the novel as "perhaps the most beautiful and the least understood" of Camus' books. Jeffrey M. "Jeff" Shaara (born February 21, 1952) is an American novelist, the son of Pulitzer Prize winner Michael Shaara.
