Reviews

[Tim · Rating 4 out of 5]

Solid farce. Many laughs to be had. Would read again.

[Joshua Horn · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not the most complete book on 1st Manassas, but very good for having been written in the early 1900s. Not a hagiography at all, like many of the early books. In public domain, which is a plus.

[Alec Gray · Rating 3 out of 5]

Dated, but solid analysis of the first campaign of the war
