“Mr. Morgan has lifted the battlefields of the South from their provincial setting and marked them on the great war map of the world.”—New York Evening Post.

“It has a wide sweep. It is full of vigorous movement, of vivid, stirring pictures. Its turns and phrases are surprising, startling. It will gratify and satisfy the reader.”—New York Sun.

“A remarkably clear, just, and at the same time entertaining pen-picture of the most momentous period in American history. A book to make one think. It is one of the most substantial and worthy efforts of the year. The most striking work of its type extant. Here is a novel of American life that is really worth while.”—Philadelphia Record.

“Such novels as ‘The Issue’ are rare upon any theme.... Superior to ‘The Crisis’ ... a work that must have cost tremendous toil, a masterpiece.”—Pittsburgh Gazette.

“Will stand prominently forth as the strongest book that the season has given us. A book that is dramatic, picturesque, and is yet realistic.”—Philadelphia Ledger.
