Praise for A Chain of Thunder
“[Jeff] Shaara continues to draw powerful novels from the bloody
history of the Civil War. . . . The dialogue intrigues. Shaara
aptly reveals the main actors: Grant, stoic, driven, not given to
micromanagement; Sherman, anxious, high-strung, engaged even when
doubting Grant’s strategy. . . . Worth a Civil War buff’s
attention.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Searing . . . Shaara seamlessly interweaves multiple points of
view, as the plot is driven by a stellar cast of real-life and
fictional characters coping with the pivotal crisis. . . . [A]
riveting fictional narrative.”—Booklist
“Shaara’s historical accuracy is faultless, and he tells a good
story. . . . The voices of these people come across to the reader
as poignantly as they did 150 years ago.”—Historical Novels
Review
“The writing is picturesque and vibrant. . . . [an] engrossing
tale.”—Bookreporter
