I am a fan of Jeff Shaara as well as his father Michael. I have read most of Jeff's books and have been waiting for this volume of the trilogy to come out in trade paperback. His books are always well written with a strong base in historical facts. The siege of Vicksburg was a significant event in the Civil War and his interpretation is interesting and enlightening. I recommend this book if you are a Civil War Buff or simply interested in the event as Mr. Shaara brings both the military and civilian impact to fore in easily understandable descriptions of strategy and actual fighting. In short, this volume does not bog the reader down in any super detailed discussion of battles and tactics but rather gives a good broad brush overview while focusing on the human aspect of this event.
Awesome read as only Jeff Shaara can write.
