Russell

This is an extremely well written book. It was my introduction to William Howard Russell and I found it interesting and informing. The book can also serve as a primary for the introduction of the attitudes and feeling of the beginning of the Civil War. Russell was probably the father of war reporting at least the kind of reporting that took us through Viet Nam.

A Great Read!

This is a well written book, The author connected William Russells life to important events in history. I had never heard of this man, but he had a fascinating life.I couldn't put this book down.Ms. Miller is a gifted writer and I will look forword to her next book. I'm glad it came out before Christmas as I bought some copies for gifts.
