Members Reviews:

Superb Catton classic.

Great narration of the intimate and authentic journey of the last year of the Army of the Potomac.

Civil War brought to life

Never before, in my experience, has a narrative so fully captured the experience of the war between the states. This is a book to lend to your children.

This makes history come to life

The narration is fabulous. The research that has gone into this book is impressive. It has left me with a profound respect for men who gave their all for the freedoms I enjoy.

Perfect

Truly a masterpiece. I have read or listened to a dozen civil war books and this may have been the best. It held my interest beyond my expectations.

Poetry

a beautifully written and poetic approach to a terrible time, amazing!
