Review
"Excellent. . . . Recommended for all black studies collections, Civil War collections, and inclusive history collections in public, college, and university libraries."Library Journal
"One of the one hundred best books ever written on the Civil War."Civil War Times Illustrated
"A path-breaking work . . . written with grace and clarity. . . . After a period of thirty years, during which it has been read, cited, and used as a model, The Sable Arm has achieved the richly deserved status of a classic. Much of what is today considered conventional knowledge about the role of blacks in the Civil War can be traced to this pioneering study."Civil War History
"The most valuable book ever written on the topic."Herman Hattaway, coauthor of How the North Won
"Superbly written. . . . A major study . . . on a neglected side of the war."T. Harry Williams, author of Lincoln and His Generals
"Pioneering. . . . Readable, interesting, sound, with important insights."James M. McPherson, author of The Negros Civil War
"A volume of permanent value."George B. Tindall, author of The Emergence of the New South, 19131945
