"An excellent introduction to the history of the Army of the Potomac which includes lots of interesting background, particularly of the politics involved. Catton uses the words of the soldiers themselves to tell the story in this very engaging and informative read"
"This is the final volume in a trilogy on the Army of the Potomac. Bruce Catton writes superbly; this book reads very well. The book begins with a harebrained scheme advanced by, among others, General Judson Kilpatrick (often called Kill Cavalry for his willingness to engage in dangerous actions), to have cavalry raid Richmond. And the book ends with General Ulysses Grant riding off to meet General Robert E. Lee for the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia.
The book proceeds through Grant's campaign, from the Wilderness to Petersburg to Appomattox Court House. Characters come to life under Catton's writing.
Even though this book is over fifty years old, it still reads well and has held up nicely with time."
"This is an excellent series for someone who is just beginning to develop an interest in the Civil War. It lacks the detail and complexity of Shelby Foote's history or even Bruce Catton's second trilogy. But it is well-written and provides a wealth of information about the important military leaders and their battles in Virginia."
