Amazing wonderful brutal. A frankly perfect addition to the Freeman Colby Diaries.

"Marek Bennet may be the most underrated cartoonist of our time." - quoted from someone who's name I forgot

Marek is one of my favorite cartoonists working today. His cartooning is energetic and heartfelt. This carefully researched tome documents many of the horrors of the civil war. The simple cartooning style makes it possible for Marek to accurately depict the awful violence, without completely overwhelming the reader. I eagerly look forward to volume four, and if you have not read the first three volumes, now is a great time to jump in! I give this series my highest recommendation.

[Aaron White · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great way to digest the American Civil War, with both the horror of battle and the social changes being made.

Great artwork, and very well researched.

It's great seeing accurate history in a graphic novel.

La serie de Freeman Colby creada por Marek Bennett va siendo más impresionante, con más fuerza y más profunda con cada entrega. Este volumen es un lujo.
