Book Review of The Last Full Measure

The Last Full Measure
Hophead avatar reviewed on + 285 more book reviews


A satisfying conclusion to the farher-son trilogy, Shaara once again takes us into the minds of the most important of the Civil War generals. By deeply personalizing their stories, Shaara brings the war straight to the reader's heart. Anyone who loves a good story will enjoy this book, but historians will rejoice! I was moved to tears during the description of Lee's surrender to Chamberlain. My very highest recommendation.
