The Last Full Measure (Abridged) Audiobook

" LOVED Killer Angels and Gods and Generals, and so far the finale to the series is measuring up well. Look forward to reading some of Shaara's WWII books after this. "

" Somewhat confusing during the battle scenes, again Jeff Shaara tackles an extensive length of history and leaves out some of the most interesting parts (i.e. Sherman's March to the Sea). The end drags out a bit too long and the battles seem to merge together. Still, a very moving account of the end of the Civil War. "

" Awesome must read if you are into the Civil War... "

" Great historical fiction about the Civil War. "

" Great sequel to Killer Angels- I enjoyed this one even more! It follows the union and confederate forces from Gettysburg through the end to Appomattox Court house where the surrender takes place. I enjoyed learning and getting to know Grant and Lee. "

" Not quite as good as Killer Angels. three and a half stars "

" Felt longer than the last two books. But still very good and I loved how Grant and Lincoln were depicted. B+ "

" Jeff Shaara brings history alive. I have read a few of his books and eager to read more. "

" Not as good as Killer Angels - but it kept the Civil War saga alive for me a little longer. "

" I listening to this on audio book. I didn't expect to like a book that was mostly about generals & battles in the Civil War, but it was a wonderful book to listen to. "

" This book is the last of the triology-it tells of Robert E. Lees's retreat from p\Penn. through to the end of the war. Kind of hated for these books from father and son to end-enjoyed them very much. "

" This is a great book. Jeff Shaara does a good job with this book. It is not as good as Killer Angels but I think it is better than God's and Generals. "

" I learned a lot about the "post" Gettysburg battles. The account of Cold Harbor is bone-chilling. "

" An interesting ending to the trilogy. Engaging and an interesting way of learning US history. "

" Like his father before him with Killer Angels, Jeff Shaara weaves a masterful portrait focusing on Lee, Grant and Chamberlain in the closing days of the war. The battles are detailed and precise; the men are real and fascinating. Highly recommended for both civil war buffs & historical fiction fans. "

" This was better than his first attempt, Gods and Generals, but not nearly as good as his father's Killer Angels. "

" Not as good as Gods and Generals or the Killer Angels, possibly because my favorite characters at this point are dead and obviously the Southern generals are losing and somewhat upset about this. "

" Along with "The Killer Angels" and "God and Generals" by the Shaara's an excellent trio of Civil War Books. A must read for anyone interested in the Civil War. "

" Shaara's works are excellent reads at any time "

" I loved this trilogy! I learned a lot about the Civil War, it's major players and life during the time of the conflict. "

" Great telling of the fall of the rebellion and the changed that occurred to bring the Union up to par. "

" vivid read of the run-up to the Normandy invasion "

" Long read for me, but learned a lot about our civil war and the people involved. Shaara did not take sides and gave a view of all participants as humans with their frailties and virtues. It was written in the first person to give us an idea of each thoughts. Wonderfully written. "

" I enjoyed learning more about this time period, but i had a hard time with that constant talk of war, it was very depressing to me, I maybe would have liked to more if a read it in the summer, cause winter is depressing enough as it is. "

" This was better than his first attempt, Gods and Generals, but not nearly as good as his father's Killer Angels. "

" Michael Shaara and son,Jeff Shaara have given Civil War history fans 3 wonderful books ,not just historical fiction but history .So thorough in detail and facts but engrossing even to all who know how the war turned out ! I loved all three books . "

" Great book by a great author. "

" this book was an amazing synopsis of the civil war. it was informational without doubt, but also compelling. he uses alternating first person perspectives to portray the history aspect. in this way you feel closer to the characters. "

" It was a good book but you have to like historical fiction. I like the author's style because it shows the war from different ponts on both sides, not just facts about the war. "

" Another great book on the civil war. Grant vs. Lee "

" Not as good as Gods and Generals but a good read. Focuses more on the Wildnerness campaign "

" Last book in the Civil War trilogy - covers from right after Gettysburg until the end of the war. This was my favorite of the three. I enjoy all of Shaara's books but his two Civil War books and the one WWI book are my favorites. "

" Last book in the Shaara Civil War trilogy. Loved it like I did all the others. "

" Exceptional detail and color to the era. Once you have been to some of the sites mentioned in his books, you can almost see the battles. "

" Decent depiction of the end of the civil war. This book mainly focused on Grant and Lee and focused on how Grant used siege warfare to starve the southern army into a surrender. "
