About this title

Review:

"Awarded the 2002 Seaborg Civil War Prize." --

"An indispensable source for an understanding of the events in Kentucky in the fall of 1862, when Braxton Bragg's Southern soldiers fought courageously to achieve what turned out to be the 'high water mark' of the western Confederacy." -- America's Civil War

"Full of facts, details, and descriptions of the battle, but it also contains vivid descriptions of the soldiers and civilians caught in the wake of the battle making it interesting reading for not only the avid Civil War buff, but the casual reader." -- Back Home in Kentucky

"For anyone seriously interested in the Civil War in Kentucky, Noe's books is a must buy. It should remain the definitive work of the Perryville campaign for many years." -- Bowling Green Daily News

"Noe has authored the essential book on this battle." -- Civil War Book Review

"About as detailed as it can get regarding this long-overlooked and recently discovered Civil War battle for Kentucky." -- Civil War Courier

"None of the professional works that touch on Perryville... can offer the breadth of perspective and the innovative investigation that inform Noe's Perryville." -- Civil War History

"An exceptional book. Buffs and serious scholars alike will enjoy what should be the definitive work on this battle for some time to come." -- Civil War News

"A conversational, easy-to-follow style with vivid imagery, Perryville clearly sets out the battle lines and savagery that took place there." -- Danville Advocate-Messenger

"Does a masterful job of placing the Battle of Perryville, and Kentucky more generally, in the context of the Civil War and southern history." -- Filson History Quarterly
