Masterly....Jake's careful manipulation of history and his knack for creating wacky, wicked characters are sure to lure readers...
A tapestry of betrayal, revenge and murder....Fans of Jake's earlier hits should find plenty of drama and antebellum in this lusty epic...

This was a fun book, but not completely believable to me.

I really enjoyed this book. I learned a lot about the Union's methods during the Civil War. I visited Savannah shortly after I finished this book and talked to one of the vendors at the state park. Apparently, the real reason that Sherman didn't burn Savannah was because he held a significant interest in Savannah cotton. Politicians never change.

Very simplistic view of the March to the sea but would be appropriate for early teens and tweens.

John Jakes writes a great book, and this is a good account of Savannah in the Civil war
