Review:
"The most comprehensive, up-to-date and balanced account" Boston Globe "It has deservedly superseded all earlier books to become the standard reference work on the war" Philadelphia Inquirer "Even those of us who think we know something about it will read with fascination" New York Times "So comprehensive and so dispassionate... History writing at its best" Chicago Sun-Times
