Title: Don't Spoonfeed Me, Give Me Something To Chew On
Review: As an enthusiastic reader of Shaara's past work I was excited to begin this one but found it soft and flat. I was constantly bothered by little unimportant words and phrases that should have been edited out while important questions, such as the whole San Patricio issue, were glossed over. I enjoyed the battle scenes, particularly Jackson's heroic and efficient working of his artillery and Grant's flanking maneuver, but it lacked the in-depth view into the character's heads and historical detail that I've come to expect.
