Critics Review

Praise for A Chain of Thunder

Praise for A Chain of Thunder

“[Jeff] Shaara continues to draw powerful novels from the bloody history of the Civil War… . The dialogue intrigues. Shaara aptly reveals the main actors: Grant, stoic, driven, not given to micromanagement; Sherman, anxious, high-strung, engaged even when doubting Grant’s strategy… . Worth a Civil War buff’s attention.”Kirkus Reviews

“Searing … Shaara seamlessly interweaves multiple points of view, as the plot is driven by a stellar cast of real-life and fictional characters coping with the pivotal crisis… . [A] riveting fictional narrative.”Booklist

“Shaara’s historical accuracy is faultless, and he tells a good story… . The voices of these people come across to the reader as poignantly as they did 150 years ago.”—Historical Novels Review

“The writing is picturesque and vibrant… . [an] engrossing tale.”—Bookreporter
