Critics Review

Praise for The Eagle’s Claw“An exciting blend of the big-picture strategy and intense human perspective … Riveting historical fiction … Shaara’s wildly popular novels about the Civil War and WWII extend the audience for military fiction far beyond its normal range.”—Booklist (starred review) “Compelling … Shaara deftly digs into the minds of the major players … Shaara writes a well-researched and evenhanded portrayal of the event that changed the direction of the Pacific War.”—Kirkus ReviewsPraise for To Wake the Giant“An exciting war story … [a] deeply researched, nonjudgmental account of Pearl Harbor.”—Kirkus Reviews“A thrilling you-are-there recreation … Fans of military fiction will find much to enjoy.”—Publishers Weekly“[Jeff] Shaara deftly weaves a growing intensity that explodes on the pages… . His descriptions and explanations of the events as they unfold eerily bring to mind the old newsreel footage. His dramatic recreation of the devastation and carnage of the attack is among some of his best work.”—Bookreporter“Moving [and] masterful … To Wake the Giant is detailed and nuanced, gripping and breathless … Shaara tackles a well-known story and makes it his own.”—Historical Novel Society
