About this title

Review:

"The indelible panorama [Jeff] Shaara paints . . . draws us into the horror and heroism of war."--Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

"Magnificent . . . Intense, compelling, and thoroughly researched, this is much more than just an excellent historical novel."--Library Journal

"Pounding with fierce action and human drama, and packed with accurately rendered history, The Steel Wave is an eye-opening reminder of the bitterly high price that combat soldiers have always been called upon to pay."--St. Petersburg Times

"In this great, often moving novel of conflict, [Jeff] Shaara channels the roiling experiences of men in the midst of a tumultuous enterprise whose outcome was by no means certain."--St. Louis Post-Dispatch

"Stirring . . . Shaara [is the] master of the war novel."--Chicago Tribune
