I have read it just a little while ago and thought it to be very good. Not only is it written well, it included a wealth of stories and anecdotes that I was not familiar with. I highly recommend this book!
Also, the author will speak on Author's Voice on Saturday, a program that can be viewed online as it happens and viewers can send in questions or discuss.

Laurie - I was not aware of it, and obviously have not read it, but I have read several of Trudeau's books, namely his trilogy on the end of the Civil War (Bloody Roads South (May - June 1864), The Last Citadel (June 1864 - April 1865), and Out of the Storm (April - June 1865)), and Gettysburg. I find his research solid, and he writes well, so I would put it on my Christmas Wish List. Lisa, are you reading this???
