THE CREEK/September 1862 (Cil War Trilogy) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

"Ed Reynolds has retold the epic story of Antietam in a sweeping novel that is bound to remind readers of Michael Schaara's "Killer Angels." With an authoritative hand, he takes us from the command posts of McClellan and Lee to privates struggling at the Cornfield, Bloody Lane and Burnside's Bridge. His book gives human meaning to the broad arrows on campaign maps and the cold, horrifying casualty lists in the "Official Records." Ernest B. "Pat" Furgurson...Author of "Chancellorsville 1863," "Not War But Murder," and others."The Creek transports the reader back to the bloodiest single day on American soil, the battle of Antietam. Readers can experience the entire battle from the decisions of the tacticians to the perspectives of the men in the field. Even if the history of Antietam is well known to the reader, Reynolds's expert storytelling carefully builds suspense and tension by delving into the minds and motivations of the men determining the outcome while exploring the concerns of everyday soldiers who gave their lives on this day. With enough detail to satisfy any Civil War buff, "The Creek's" moving story will not disappoint."Amy Briggs...Editor, "National Geographic"
