This is a pretty good yarn, but it is not necessarily a historically correct or researched book. There are many historical characters here, including Lincoln, Grant, Burnside and others, and the authors have them say many things. However, there are no footnotes, bibliographies or explanations to justify the characters words or deeds. The book favorably portrays the black union troops and appears to be politically correct for current times. It describes the tunneling in detail, but again one is left wondering how accurate it is or on what is is based.
