I had never visited Gettysburg, knew almost nothing about that battle before I read the book, but here it all came alive.'Ken Burns, on The Killer Angels ';The Last Full Measure is more than another historical novel. It is rooted in history, but its strength is the element of humanity flowing through its characters. . . . The book is compelling, easy to read, well researched and written, and thought-provoking. . . . In short, it is everything that a reader could ask for.'Chicago Tribune
