The Civil War: A Narrative Volume II, Fredericksburg to Meridian Fredericksburg to Meridian "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....Mr. Foote has an acute sense of the relative importance of events and a novelist"s skill in directing the reader"s attention to the men and the episodes that will influence the course of the whole war, without omitting items which are of momentary interest. His organization of facts could hardly be bettered."-Atlantic "Though the events of this middle year of the Civil War have been recounted hundreds of times, they have rarely been re-created with such vigor and such picturesque detail as in Mr. Foote"s "Civil War: A Narrative.""-New York Times Book Review "The lucidity of the battle narratives, the vigor of the prose, the strong feeling for the men from generals to privates who did the fighting are all controlled by a constant sense of how it happened and what it was all about. Foote has the novelist"s feeling for character and situation, without losing the historian"s scrupulous regard for recorded fact. The Civil War The Civil War is likely to stand unequaled."-WALTER MILLS is likely to stand unequaled."-WALTER MILLS The Civil War: A Narrative Volume III, Red River to Appomattox Red River to Appomattox "Foote is a novelist who temporarily abandoned fiction to apply the novelist"s shaping hand to history: his model is not Thucydides but The Iliad The Iliad and his story, innocent of notes and formal bibliography, has a literary design. Not by accident...but for cathartic effect is so much s.p.a.ce given to the war"s unwinding, its final shudders and convulsions.... To read this chronicle is an awesome and moving experience. History and literature are rarely so thoroughly combined as here; one finishes this volume convinced that no one need undertake this particular enterprise again."- and his story, innocent of notes and formal bibliography, has a literary design. Not by accident...but for cathartic effect is so much s.p.a.ce given to the war"s unwinding, its final shudders and convulsions.... To read this chronicle is an awesome and moving experience. History and literature are rarely so thoroughly combined as here; one finishes this volume convinced that no one need undertake this particular enterprise again."-Newsweek "I have never read a better, more vivid, more understandable account of the savage battling between Grant"s and Lee"s armies.... Foote stays with the human strife and suffering, and unlike most Southern commentators, he does not take sides. In objectivity, in range, in mastery of detail, in beauty of language and feeling for the people involved, this work surpa.s.ses anything else on the subject. Written in the tradition of the great historian-artists-Gibbon, Prescott, Napier, Freeman-it stands alongside the work of the best of them."-New Republic "The most written-about war in history has, with this completion of Shelby Foote"s trilogy, been given the epic treatment it deserves."-Providence Journal
