Customer Reviews

Much Better than one star!

I was very close to bringing this book home today. I spent about twenty minutes looking it over and reading sections. One star is a very harsh review of what is a good readable book. Pen Avenger is on a quest to defend John B. Hood and gives one start to most books dealing with the Nashville Campaign of 1864. Mr. Sword is an excellent author and a respected historian, who should not be quickly dismissed based on a single partisan review. My evaluation of the book is a minimum of four stars. It is on my "To Read" list and I recommend you consider it.
