Average Customer Rating: 4 (6 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: A bully book!
Comment: This is a thoroughly researched and carefully written book for serious students of the Civil War and the Iron Brigade. Has details and insights not available in other books. The reader can get a good sense of life in the Civil War military.
Rating: 1
Summary: An Alternative To Sominex
Comment: Boring and submerged in minutia. I looked forward to a good read such as Mr. Gaff's "Brave Mens Tears", but instead felt I was reading a dictionary. Don't get me wrong, the book was well documented for historians, but a sluggish read.
Rating: 3
Summary: An interesting story bogged down in trivia
Comment: The story of the famous Iron Brigade has been told many times before, rarely, however, with this kind of obsessive detail. Alan Gaff's highly subjective style of writing focuses on minutiae, often at the expense of topics larger than what the soldiers ate for breakfast. Much is made of the trivia found in quatermasters records and battle descriptions are abridged versions of those to be found in "Battles and Leaders of the Civil War." Overall, the book is marked by a tedious accretion of detail with overwrought writing and dubious attribution of sentiments. Not the worst book on the Iron Brigade surely, but not the best read either.
