Generation Of Warriors Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a well researched book that goes behind the scenes of a major civil war battle. The author describes the effect of war from the commanding general to the common soldier as well as the hardships faced by the local civilians. He doesn't stray from the actual events of the "Battle of Chickamauga' and gives a detail account of the action that took place. I thoroughly enjoyed the interweaving from the battlefield to the homestead and all that takes place with the main characters. I would characterize this book as a historical novel and highly recommended reading. With the recent interest in historical movies I believe this book would make a fine movie as well, along the lines of 'Cold Mountain' and 'Gods And Generals'

Bloody Angle: Hancock's Assault On The Mule Shoe Salient, May 12, 1864 (Battleground America Guides) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great, great little book. One of the better ones in the Battleground America Series. The narrative is compelling and exciting, and gives a good detailed overview of the battle without being too technical and boring and reading like a textbook. This is a good account of the Bloody Angle battle, without having to read about the entire Spotsylvania campaign. The suggested reading chapter at the end also lists a valuable resource of references for further reading and learning and more technical volumes. Gettysburg perhaps steals a lot of the thunder of the other Civil War battles as compared to exposure and popularity, but the Spotsylvania battle, specifically the Bloody Angle fight, deserves a lot more attention and exposure than it gets. The Bloody Angle is important to Civil War history in that it ushered in a level of ferocity and brutality in Civil War combat that had never been seen prior to the Spotsylvania Campaign. It remains a unique and very exciting battle and hopefully there will be more written about it in the future.
