“Civil War history fiends will be riveted.”—Parade
“The Smoke at Dawn is a beautifully written novel about a battle
usually ignored. The historical details and the personal
examinations fuse perfectly—with the raw power of the battle meshed
hand-in-hand with the inner struggle of the men who determine the
fates of others and of nations. Shaara once again elevates history
from mere rote fact to explosive and engaging
drama.”—Bookreporter
“Shaara’s mastery of military tactics, his intimate grasp of
history, and his ability to interweave several supporting
narratives into a cohesive and digestible whole as he revisits a
catastrophic period in U.S. history will appeal to a broad range of
historical- and military-fiction fans.”—Booklist
“Top-notch . . . As with the best historical war novels, knowing
the ultimate outcome of the bitter fighting is not a bar to
engagement.”—Publishers Weekly
“Blending historical detail with vivid depictions of battle, Jeff
Shaara immerses readers in the world of commanders and common
soldiers, civilians and statesmen. . . . The Smoke at Dawn vividly
recreates the climactic months of the war in the West, when the
fate of a divided nation truly hangs in the balance.”—Huntington
