Title: Surprise! An Excellent Read!!
Review: I was given this book by my lovely sister who picked it up for a song at a local book store. I'm a big Civil War buff & have read hundreds of books over the years. Novels are another story. Other than the Killer Angels & some of Jeff Shaara's work - it's a genre I wasn't overly interested in. Boy, was I wrong! This novel vividly describes in detail the fighting in & around Second Manassas & was a joy to read for hours on end. The author interweaves the characters flawlessly & sometimes you're not sure who the REAL ones are! One of those novels you're truly disappointed when you turn to the final page! How I missed out on this book for so long & the little fanfare it's been given, I cannot understand. Tom Wicker excels here!
