Review
A brilliant premise, superb characterizations, fine historical research . . . as good as Killer Angels, Traveller, or The Court-Martial of George Armstrong Custer. (David Martin, author of The Chancellorsville Campaign)
The interplay of history and fiction flows so skillfully through The Court Martial of Robert E. Lee that at times it becomes difficult to remember that this is, after all, a novel. (William C. Davis, History Book Club News, author of Jefferson Davis: The Man and His Hour and Lincoln's Men)
The Court Martial of Robert E. Lee adheres more closely to the facts of history—and uses them more imaginatively—than any Civil War novel I have ever read. . . . Savage’s creativity, eye for detail, and flair for character development make the book an irresistible combination of history, biography, and courtroom drama. (Edward G. Longacre, author of The Calvary at Gettysburg)
It is a remarkable accomplishment. (William Garrett Piston, author of Lee’s Tarnished Lieutenant)
Chapters blend a fine portrait of Lee and his relationship with the Confederate government with a fast-paced, fictional trial which will intrigue readers of historical works. (Midwest Book Review)
Here come to life are the personalities of the Confederate government and military, and the forgotten figures in Lee’s personal life. . . . Here is a powerful work of fiction that takes us into the life of the Confederacy . . . a novel of deep fascination and literary rewards for the reader. (Wisconsin Bookwatch)
Tense courtroom scenes of Lee’s confrontations with his one-time subordinates and rivals alternate with vivid and highly-detailed reports of his campaigns. . . . Savage has created a convincing and compelling portrait of Lee and the events of the Civil War’s biggest battle. (Military Book News)
