"Onto the warp of history Mr. Kantor has woven with the stuff of his imagination an immense and terrible pattern, a pattern which finally emerges as a gigantic panorama of the war itself, and of the nation that tore itself to pieces in the war. Out of fragmentary and incoherent records, Mr. Kantor has wrought the greatest of our Civil War novels." -- Henry Steele Commager -- New York Times Book Review "The novelist employs a thousand different episodes to bring the war within the focus of the prison, and there are times when his power of invention leads him too far afield. In his search for the motivation of the brutal characters such as General Winder, I do not think he is unfailingly successful. But in his pictures of tenacity, endurance, and cleansing mercy he was written with truth and power." -- Edward Weeks -- Atlantic Monthly "['Andersonville' is] the best Civil War novel I have ever read, without any question." -- Bruce Catton -- biblio.com 74658 1 3 1993 Andersonville (Plume) total:273|5:96|4:105|3:55|2:13|1:4| 273 1095 500 53 4 2 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1974 Thu Feb 21 16:47:34 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 21 16:52:35 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Mon Oct 15 11:27:14 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 15 11:30:13 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sun Jul 27 17:01:40 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 27 17:01:58 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sat Dec 20 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 03 14:24:47 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 20 14:51:23 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Dec 27 09:29:34 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 27 09:31:02 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 21 10:01:11 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 21 10:08:06 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Feb 28 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 12 08:07:34 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 28 11:47:40 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Mar 17 20:42:09 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 17 20:44:49 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1955 Mon Feb 23 20:54:34 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 20:55:08 -0800 2009 Until I read "Andersonville" I had no clue about t...more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Apr 27 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 16 11:37:37 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 11:38:38 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Jun 27 11:09:15 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 27 11:12:28 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1967 Mon Jan 05 18:53:16 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 05 18:56:27 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Tue May 26 11:33:02 -0700 2009 Tue May 26 11:33:02 -0700 2009 5 0 true false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1967 Tue Jan 06 07:24:05 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 06 07:25:34 -0800 2009 2 5 0 false false Fri Oct 09 12:24:32 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 09 12:25:16 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1986 Fri Jul 18 11:10:44 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 18 11:10:44 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1 0 false false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1971 Wed May 20 17:16:06 -0700 2009 Wed May 20 17:16:40 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Oct 08 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 22 21:01:33 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 08 19:18:07 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 1996 Sat Jan 05 21:53:29 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 05 21:55:41 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jan 31 11:35:17 -0800 2008 Wed Jun 10 10:35:13 -0700 2009 more...]]> http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=77239
