Recenzii

'Davis' exceptional biography of Stonewall Jackson breathes new life into the Civil War legend and his Foot Cavalry. Davis deftly reveals the relevance today of the man who created a textbook on tactics by accomplishing so much, so often, with so little.' - Jack Coughlin, Gunnery Sergeant, USMC (Ret.), and New York Times bestselling author of SHOOTER: The Autobiography of the Top-Ranked Marine Sniper

'Davis, whose diverse background includes experience in almost every phase of publishing as well as a profound knowledge of military history, brings to Stonewall a deft touch that makes this compelling subject new, exciting and exceptionally readable. The result is an enthralling portrayal of the man many believe may have been the top military strategist of his time.' - Ken Englade, author of The Tony Hillerman's Frontier series.

'A brilliant masterpiece. Former CIA Director Allen Dulles once said, 'truth has a hard time once legends are established to appease our thirst for heroes.' Don Davis has captured the truth about General Thomas 'Stonewall' Jackson. In this book, readers will find precious lessons in strategy, tactics, character and honor - traits and skill sets that never disappear.' - Fred Burton, Vice-President, STRATFOR and former U.S. Counterterrorism agent

'An excellent little book...' - Library Journal

'A handy introduction to the military genius whose philosophy of war was "draw your swords and throw away the scabbard!"' - Kirkus Reviews

'Davis has produced a book worthy of the eponymous general in the title.' - Jim McGonigle, History Teaching Review Yearbook

Caracteristici

1 Successful Series, Visible Series Editor: Books in the series continue to earn high praise from the Washington Times, The New York Sun, Publishers Weekly and Kirkus
2 Relevant Today: Jackson used psychological tactics to mystify and confound his enemy and pioneered mobile warfare. In an era that emphasized massed armies fighting toe-to-toe, his 'foot cavalry' infantry would march fast and hard to expose and attack the enemy's weakest point. Jackson believed that violence of action can demoralize an enemy, but relentless pursuit will destroy him
3 Bestselling Author: The author's book with SMP, Shooter, was a New York Times bestseller. His military histories are engaging and well researched
