Reviews by Civil War historians include:
"A Soldier's General is a long overdue book. The letters of Lafayette McLaws will be read and consulted for years by historians and students of the Civil War. It is an important and fine book."
Jeffry Wert, author of Gettysburg — Day Three
"For much of the war, Lafayette McLaws held the senior major general's rank in the Army of Northern Virginia. His extensive letters, skillfully transcribed from the almost illegible originals by John Oeffinger, constitute a rich — and virtually untapped — lode of primary evidence from an officer of major importance."  
Robert K. Krick, author of Stonewall Jackson at Cedar Mountain and The Smoothbore Volley That Doomed the Confederacy.
