"Riveting . . . Vivid . . . Brilliantly depicted. . . . 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
"A WORTHY COMPANION TO ITS TWO PREDECESSORS . . . These characters
come alive as complex, heroic, and flawed men. . . . You are with
[Robert E.] Lee, a deeply religious man, as he first begins to
wonder if the Confederate cause will prevail. . . . You ride with
[Ulysses S.] Grant to see the mounds of Union dead at Cold Harbor,
and you share his sickening realization that thousands are dead
because of his miscalculation. . . . You are at [Joshua]
Chamberlain's bedside as he fights to recover from nearly mortal
wounds. . . . Each book is masterful in its own way and taken
together, they are unmatched in the body of Civil War
literature."
--The Baltimore Sun
"AN AMBITIOUS WORK . . . [Shaara] writes with considerable
sensitivity and skill, setting vivid scenes and adding drama and
suspense to a familiar tale."
--The Seattle Times
"Exhaustively researched, infused with a profound understanding of
the great issues of a nation and the small quirks of the human
heart and ego, The Last Full Measure is fiction that brings history
brilliantly to life."
