A beautifully written biography of one of New England’s greatest heroes. General Chamberlain is a prime example of how being an intellectual and well studied can translate into a moral leadership in times of uncertainty. A true public servant of his time, I highly recommend On Great Fields for all Civil War enthusiasts and even readers who are looking for inspiration on leadership and courage.

Excellent ... This is a great read and biography of one of America's lesser known hero's. The Author makes good use of correspondence in and around Joshua L. Chamberlain to bring this history to life and expertly weaves in first hand accounts of events to tell a complete story of this great American.
