Recenzii
“Rollicking. ... Equal parts violent melodrama and meticulous procedural... with enough bloody action to engage readers enthralled by tales of good versus evil.” — New York Times Book Review
“Superb. ... Mr. Gardner earns an A+ for his research and an A++ for his writing. — New York Journal of Books
“An elegant narrative that’s as entertaining as it is historically accurate… A must-read.” — Publishers Weekly
“Action packed…A gripping read and probably tells all there is to tell about a legendary group of psychopaths.” — Kirkus
“[This] bullet-by-bullet account... sheds considerable light on a neglected aspect of the gang’s life of crime... well done.” — Booklist
“Rewarding. ... Gardner’s re-creation of the Northfield Raid... orchestrates the often-unwieldy particulars of the event with considerable virtuosity. ... It would be hard to imagine a more thorough account.” — Washington Post
