Jeff Shaara was born on February 21, 1952, in New Brunswick, New Jersey, United States. He is the son of Michael and Helen (Krumwiede) Shaara, both Italian immigrants. He grew up in Tallahassee, Florida.
Shaara graduated from Florida State University with a degree in Criminology in 1973.
From age of 16, Jeff operated a rare coin business, first out of his home, then in a retail store. After moving to Tampa, Jeff became one of the most widely known coin and precious-metals dealers in Florida. In 1988, Jeff's father, Michael Shaara, died, and Jeff made the decision to sell his business, and take over the management of his father's estate.
In 1993, the motion picture "Gettysburg" was released, which was based on his father's classic novel, The Killer Angels. After the critical and commercial success of the film, Jeff was approached about the possibility of continuing the story, finding someone to write a prequel and sequel to The Killer Angels. After some considerable soul-searching, Jeff decided to try to tackle the project himself. The decision was difficult in many ways, but most challenging because Jeff had no previous experience as a writer.
In 1996, Ballantine Books published Jeff's first novel, Gods and Generals, the prequel to his father's great work. Gods and Generals leapt onto the New York Times Bestseller List, and remained there for fifteen weeks. In 1998, the sequel, The Last Full Measure, was published, with the same result: thirteen weeks on the New York Times Bestseller List, and universal praise from critics and fans nationwide. What has followed are books covering the Mexican War, a 2-volume set on the American Revolution, a one volume story on World War One, a four book series on World War 2, as well as a non-fiction look at this nation's most valuable Civil War battlefields. With the start of the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War, beginning in 2011, Jeff tackled a new series on the war in the "west", a four book set, which was completed in the summer of 2015.
In 2017, Jeff published his fifteenth novel, a Korean War saga titled The Frozen Hours, a dramatic story of the struggle between the United States Marines and their Chinese adversaries in the fall of 1950, at the Chosin Reservoir. The Frozen Hours became Jeff's fifteenth consecutive New York Times bestseller.
Besides his books, Jeff has penned articles for three Time Entertainment, Inc "coffee table books" on the Civil War, and has written introductions for the re-publication of two notable novels, Ward Moore's "Bring the Jubilee" and MacKinlay Kantor's "Long Remember". He was also a major contributor and participant in the National Endowment for the Arts program "Operation Homecoming", where he led writing workshops for military personnel from bases as diverse as Fort Richardson, Alaska, Fort Carson, Colorado, Quantico, Virginia, and a short stint on the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, plus the guided-missile destroyer USS Mustin, both while in the Persian Gulf.
After many years in Florida, New York City and the mountains of Montana, Jeff now lives with his wife in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
