UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE.—“Although the narrative itself is excellent, the value of this work consists more especially in the comments made by the author, not only in respect to the operations actually under review, but to the whole art of war, as affected in its application by the man and the means, in preparation and in action.... Colonel Ross’s work is an education in itself.”
DAILY NEWS.—“A book which might in many respects almost be taken as a model for publications of this particular kind.... It constitutes a study of the art of war which cannot fail to prove most informing to any soldier who reads it through.”
BROAD ARROW.—“Colonel Ross has placed before us in his book, volume I., the many phases of the war, and particularly in regard to the care or carelessness on the part of either combatant, which led up to the procedure and development of each of the battles. These comments are of the utmost value, especially to the student of military history.... Colonel Ross’s book is one of the most valuable additions to the history of this greatest of recent campaigns.”
ARMY AND NAVY GAZETTE.—“Colonel Ross’s volume is a thoughtful discussion of many questions which do not appear in the text-books, and, at the same time, it is a useful and well-informed narrative, illustrated by many excellent maps. We are sure that soldiers will read a book of this kind with great and sustained interest.”
