John C. Ropes, author of "The First Napoleon" and "Campaign of Waterloo."
I think your success in eliminating from your narrative all the unimportant operations is extraordinary, and is only equalled by your skill in showing how the various movements illustrate the principles of strategy or their violation.... The comments, in fact, are most instructive; and they are so carefully and clearly made that they are easily comprehended.
General Ruggles, Adjutant General, United Stales Army.
When I took it (the book) up to my house at night, I found it so well written and so very interesting that I read into the small hours.
