Recenzii
"Kreiser breathes new life into this most important of Union Army units.... A remarkably well-written and superbly researched account" David E. Long, author of The Jewel of Liberty: Abraham Lincoln's Re-election and the End of Slavery"A handful of black-and-white photographs as well as extensive appendices and notes round out this excellent contribution to Civil War history shelves." Midwest Book Review "Lawrence Kreiser tells the Second Corps' story with verve and attention to personal as well as bureaucratic details." Civil War Librarian "The author has an easy to read informative style that made the pages fly. His word portraits make lesser-known names into real people.... This is a well-written book with all the items that are expected in a serious history." TOCWOC A Civil War Blog
"Not since Francis Walker's History of the Second Corps in the Army of the Potomac appeared in 1887 has anyone attempted a general history of the Army of the Potomac's Second Corps...Exactly how many details had been obscured by this late start cannot be known, and Walker himself sensed that danger. Had Kreiser merely unearthed a few of those details, his contribution would have been significant enough; he accomplished much more. Walker argues that the Second was the most effective corps in the Army of the Potomac, but Kreiser uncovers that distinction's causes, effects, and limitations."
