Shaara has created another masterpiece. This time it's a stand-alone novel of the Korean War. Well written and superbly researched. As in all of his novels, Shaara explores the conflict through the eyes of a variety of people. In this book, he shows the war through three main characters, an American...
Shaara continues his run of outstanding historical novels! The Fateful Lightning is about the ending days of the Civil War, seen through the lens of Sherman's "March To The Sea". As he has done before, Shaara once again lays his story out by telling it through the eyes of multiple characters. The ma...
I have read some of Jeff Shaara's Revolutionary War novels, which were quite good, so I was looking forward to reading this novel that takes place during the Civil War at the Battle of Shiloh. After abandoning the city of Nashville, General Johnston and the Rebel troops are hunkered down in Tennesse...
The Glorious Cause is a very well written and often times epic in scope novel about the Revolutionary War. It mostly uses the point of view of the major people involved in the war, primarily through the eyes of George Washington, who is more or less the central character of the novel. Shaara really ...
Jeff Shaara is gifted. He has an idiosyncratic ability to enliven history, both in the lessons and especially in the personalization. His story telling ability is lively and emotional. In his latest THE SMOKE AT DAWN, not only does he maintain this tradition, but he may have improved upon it. My fir...

Review: This is a mix of fiction and nonfiction, the ev...
I'm a history buff, and I hate the civil war, except when I read Jeff Shaara's books. All the back story, participant interactions, triumphs and pitfalls, and no complex mind numbing battle sequences. Thank you for bringing these people's story to light.
A very good book. It is not quite the masterpiece that The Killer Angels is, but it is a very good book nonetheless. Jeff Shaara's writing skill has vastly improved since writing Gods and Generals. My one major complaint with the writing style in this book is how often he overuses ellipses. Overall ...
In his latest book, A Blaze of Glory, Jeff Shaara returns to the roots of the writing legacy created by himself and his father, Michael—the American Civil War. This time Shaara heads to the lesser known western campaign of the war, the struggle along the Mississippi River in which Gen. U. S. Grant e...
great study of the people behind the action. I'm not a civil war person so the absence of tactics made this very spray appealing. I don't live far from Corinth, and after reading this I may have to visit there now.
