Book Review of The Last Full Measure

The Last Full Measure
reviewed on + 813 more book reviews


This is both fact neatly entwined with fiction. It is a classic recount of the Civil War in Virginia following Gettysburg told from both sides of the battle. As such it ranks among such classics as Crane's The Red Badge of Courage, Churchill's The Crisis, and the non-fiction of Bruce Catton. It is a striking contrast of the two combatant armies.
