Reviews

[Mary Ann Shillinger]

Learned some facts about the Civil War that I didn't know. Good read if you're a history buff.

[Burt]

Well-written biography of a very colorful and politically involved General of the American Civil War. There are some really interesting historical facts presented that will surprise you if you have not read much of the American Civil War and the related politics of that era.

[Kate Willis]

This is a great "broad-strokes" biography - fast-paced and easily readable.
