Media Reviews
A massively long, brutal spectacle, supremely well-executed...again, Ford offers solidly researched and lustily violent military historical fiction. -- Kirkus Reviews An exhilarating journey into madness and destiny...this is first-class writing...impeccably researched, a surge of bloody excitement. -- Salem Statesman Journal Michael Curtis Ford strips away the civilities of modern life. When you pull yourself out of the last page, you know you've been told one of our Story's huge moments, by a master storyteller, whose stunning sweep & involvement is only matched by his expertise in breathing alive again, our heroic & gory past.--rebeccasreads.com
