The writing is superb...one of the historical and literary achievements of our time.\" The Washington Post Book World  \"Gettysburg...is described with such meticulous attention to action  terrain  time  and the characters of the various commanders that I understand  at last  what happened in that battle....

His organization of facts could hardly be bettered.\" Atlantic  Red River to Appomattox \"An unparalleled achievement  an American Iliad  a unique work uniting the scholarship of the historian and the high readability of the first-class novelist.\" Walker Percy  \"I have never read a better  more vivid  more understandable account of the savage battling between Grants and Lees armies....
