Resumen del Editor

Joshua Chamberlain of Maine forged a remarkable career during the Civil War. An academic and theologian by training, this modest young professor left Bowdoin College to accept a commission as lieutenant colonel of the 20th Maine. He fought at Antietam and Fredericksburg, then led his regiment to glory at Gettysburg, where he ordered the brilliant charge that saved Little Round Top. Promoted to brigade command, Chamberlain won a battlefield promotion to brigadier general from Ulysses S. Grant for his distinguished conduct in the assaults against Petersburg. He was held in such high esteem by his superior officers that Grant accorded him the honor of receiving the formal Confederate surrender at Appomattox. There, Chamberlain endeared himself to succeeding generations with his unforgettable salute to Robert E. Lee's defeated army.

Outstanding Biography

This excellent biography of Chamberlain stands as a fitting tribute to a remarkable man and hero. Though more may remain to be said of him, the general restraint of the tone, while not slighting his character and accomplishments is very fitting to the man, scholar, and commander.

What a great historical biography about a National Hero!

Chamberlain’s first hand accounts of his life experiences before, during and after the American Civil War are riveting and give a glimpse into the savage brutality of those darkest days of America. His ability to overcome personal hardships in a most dignified and honorable fashion is amazing.

Marvelous story of one of the greatest men in Civil War History

I’m not big on lots of words, but studying this great hero was a treat for me.

Outstanding

This is one of the best biographies I have ever listened to! This man is without a doubt one of the most amazing American hero's of the Civil War and yet probably few are familar with him and all the battles he participated in while suffering a number of injuries. This book makes you feel like you have met and spent time with Joshua Chamberlain. I only wish I had learned of this man sooner when I lived in New England and could have visited his home in Maine. You will enjoy this book.

Not what I expected.

A long boring documentary, IT IS NOT! But a riveting, eye opening, awe inspiring!
