Northshire Bookstore Review
Reviewed By... Bill Lewis

An ugly and iconic event in American history with the usual roster of villains, fools, and self-righteous experts. What is surprising is the extent to which this tragedy resulted from partisan political warfare back east. A superb study of what happened and why.

Reviewed By... Bill Lewis

A remarkable historical tapestry woven from the superior certainties of imperial Britain, the ghastly experience of war, and the inspiring capacity of humans to persevere, discover, and achieve. For readers not in a rush this is a singular reading experience.

 

 
Northshire Bookstore Review
Reviewed By... Bill Lewis

Deep research and sensitive writing combine in an honest, rather sad, yet relentlessly fascinating biography of this iconic American. And a provocative answer to the 50 year old question: who was better ? Highest Recommendation

 

 
Northshire Bookstore Review
Reviewed By... Bill Lewis

Classic example of "big" history explained by focusing on the experiences of just a few individuals. Reads like a novel but the scholarship is impressive. Moving...and important.
