Being Joshua Chamberlain fan, I just had to read this one. I liked the parallels made between Chamberlain & Alexander. Very well done.

Really interesting book although I think calling the lives of these two men parallel is a bit of a stretch. Both fought through nearly the entire war and were present at nearly all of the major battles in the Eastern theatre. I enjoyed reading about their lives after the war as both of them were young men during the war and lived for another 50 years or so.

I was not prepared to enjoy this gift book as much as I did. The explanation of the various phases of the war along with background information was thorough. Also the treatment of all subjects in the book was done with a great deal of compassion. I think it surpasses Grant's memoirs.
