A detailed, very positive review of Richmond Must Fall appeared recently at TOCWOC-A Civil War Blog. The author of the review, Brett Schulte, runs The Siege of Petersburg Online, a huge repository of sources related to the Petersburg Campaign, including many period newspaper clippings. I'm thrilled that someone with such deep knowledge of the campaign has given such high praise to Richmond Must Fall:
"This is an excellent book. Newsome writes in an engaging style, always keeping the story moving along . . . Siege of Petersburg students, of the war in the east, and of the armies
and their constituent parts will want to own this book . . . This book is highly, highly recommended."
