ReviewsTo reread Foote is to see how the greatest historians are those who recognize that the past, like the present, is shaped by flawed, flesh-and-blood individuals, from presidents to foot soldiers., I have never read a better, more vivid, more understandable account of the savage battling between Grant's and Lee's armies...Foote stays with the human strife and suffering, and unlike most Southern commentators, he does not take sides. In objectivity, in range, in mastery of detail in beauty of language and feeling for the people involved, this work surpasses anything else on the subject...It stands alongside the work of the best of them., Anyone who wants to relive the Civil War...will go through this volume with pleasure...Years from now, Foote's monumental narrative most likely will continue to be read and remembered as a classic of its kind., The most written-about war in history has, with this completion of Shelby Foote's trilogy, been given the epic treatment it deserves., An unparalleled achievement, an American Iliad, a unique work uniting the scholarship of the historian and the high readability of the first-class novelist., To read this chronicle is an awesome and moving experience. History and literature are rarely so thoroughly combined as here., One of the great historical narratives of our century, a unique and brilliant achievement, one that must be firmly placed in the ranks of the masters., I cannot begin to tell you how pleased I am with the whole production--the format, of course, and the quality of the sound, but above all with Grover Gardner's performance. No writer could ask for a better out-loud reader., The lucidity of the battle narratives, the vigor of the prose, the strong feeling for the men from generals to privates who did the fighting...Foote has the novelist's feeling for character and situation, without losing the historian's scrupulous regard for recorded fact.
