PRAISE FOR JEFF SHAARA’S ACCLAIMED CIVIL WAR NOVELS
Gods and Generals
“Shaara’s beautifully sensitive novel delves deeply in the
empathetic realm of psycho-history, where enemies do not exist—just
mortal men forced to make crucial decisions and survive on the same
battlefield.”—San Francisco Chronicle
“Powerful . . . Though the story of the Civil War has been told
many times, this is the rare version that conveys what it must have
felt like.”—Chicago Sun-Times
“Compelling . . . a work of vivid drama and skill.”—The Dallas
Morning News
The Last Full Measure
“The Last Full Measure is more than another historical novel. It is
rooted in history, but its strength is the element of humanity
flowing through its characters. . . . The book is compelling, easy
to read, well researched and written, and thought-provoking. . . .
In short, it is everything that a reader could ask for.”—Chicago
Tribune
“[Shaara] writes with considerable sensitivity and skill, setting
vivid scenes and adding drama and suspense to a familiar tale.”—The
Seattle Times
“Masterful . . . These characters come alive as complex, heroic,
and flawed men.”—Baltimore Sun
