"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
