Reviews
“Well-told and firmly in the tradition of a war story in which the protagonist joins a cause and returns broken and embittered, wondering how anyone believed in the glories of battle and patriotic rhetoric.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“Based on historical fact, this fascinating novel offers glimpses into the naval role in the Civil War. The description of life onboard an ironclad is unforgettable.… In addition to creating a credible picture of life in that era, Killgore also poses timely questions about war and peace.” ―VOYA (Voice of Youth Advocates)
