Awesome read!

Masterful work

This is now my favorite book of all time! The historical information is second to none and the writer’s ability to paint the picture of Lieutenant General Jackson’s personality was amazing! I will definitely read this book many more times.

This is an excellent biography written by an excellent historian and story teller. The narration was well done. I discovered many details about the life and military engagements of this major leader of the Confederate Army. Not only was he a brilliant strategist but a strong, disciplined leader and devout man of faith. I recommend it to anyone interested in American history.

I am a history enthusiast of the first order and rarely find history written with this kind passion, color and in depth details. Captures The absolute essence of the man in every way, and paints him accurately as the most effective combat general of the war. I would count this as one of the 10 best history books I have ever read. Do not miss out on the opportunity to read this book.

Amazing story of a obscure hero of the south. Thoroughly researched and can’t put it down readability. Best book I’ve read in years.

This book is incredibly engaging. The author has written it from the perspective that Jackson himself would’ve utilized. It is a refreshing Civil War read in the sense that it is an unapologetic look at the war from the Confederate perspective. At the same time, the descriptive language does justice to the carnage brought on by the war. I could not recommend this book enough.

Amazing .. Riveting.. Simply the best

S.C. Gwynne did a masterful job of bringing Stonewall Jackson to life. His historically researched narrative of Jackson's formative years and his depiction of his stellar Civil War career make this book a must read. Gwynne's writing style captures the imagination and takes the reader back in time to the 1860s.

Gwynne has produced an insightful look at the life of Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. This wonderful book made me aware of many of Jackson's foibles as well as his brilliance as a tactician and leader of men. The author has created fully rounded descriptions of many of the leaders of the Confederacy. As close to a "page turner" as a work of nonfiction gets.
