Book Reviews of Stonewall

Book Review: One of the five most inspiring books I have ever read.
Summary: 5 Stars

I thought this would be another blood-and-guts war novel like "The Killer Angels" and the other Shaara books. Boy, was I wrong. It does have some of the most gripping and "you are there" battle scenes I have read, but "Stonewall" is a grand epic in the old style, a 40-year long, adventure-filled journey of loss and redemption, full of colorful characters and some of America's most legendary events. I only thought I knew what would happen in this book.

I read a lot of novels, but I have read very few written in the last fifty years that exhibit the literary grace and power of this one. These characters are so real and 3-dimensional--especially the great Confederate general Stonewall Jackson and the book's lead female, the poetess Maggie Preston--that I found myself caring much more for them than I usually do the figures in a dramatic work.

This book kept me awake half the night--AFTER I had finished it. Strangely, I felt myself at once haunted and inspired by it. It has also spurred me to read more about Stonewall Jackson and some of the other characters, such as Jeb Stuart, Robert E. Lee, and Oliver O. Howard.

"Stonewall" has adventure, romance, intrigue, faith, and history. It powerfully demonstrates how strongly great men and women on both sides--some of them devout Christians--believed in their respective causes. And I have NEVER read a Civil War book that so poignantly reveals the hopes and sorrows of those on the home front.

This is one of the five most inspiring books I have ever read.

Summary of Stonewall

A powerful work of historical fiction that dramatizes the romantic, brutal, and glorious life of Stonewall Jackson, one of the Civil War's greatest heroes.
