Praise for To the Last Man
“A gripping account of World War I–from tactics to strategy. The
reader feels the horror of the trenches in France and is drawn into
the maneuvering of political and military leaders on both sides of
the battle. Jeff Shaara shows the dominance of the U.S. military in
the context of coalition warfare–as relevant today as it was in
1918.”
–GENERAL TOMMY R. FRANKS
“A sweeping, searching look at World War I. Jeff Shaara’s novel
rings with authenticity, from the feelings of frontline soldiers to
the challenges of high-level command.”
–GENERAL WESLEY CLARK
“Jeff Shaara has again demonstrated that rarest of writing gifts,
making literature read like history and history read like
literature. He has now shone that talent on another era as he
brings World War I to pulsating life.”
–JOSEPH E. PERSICO, author of Eleventh Month, Eleventh Day,
Eleventh Hour
“The best novel about the Great War since Remarque’s All Quiet on
the Western Front, which it greatly surpasses in depth, scope, and
intensity. . . . This account of how the war was really fought will
be a real eye opener for anyone interested in historical fiction or
modern history.”
–JOHN MOSIER, author of The Myth of the Great War
“A riveting masterpiece revolving around the ghastly conflict that
still profoundly defines the world we live in. With To the Last
Man, Shaara cements his reputation as a war writer of Tolstoyan or
Homeric dimensions.”
–STEVE FORBES
“Jeff Shaara’s To the Last Man lets you live WWI in the air, in the
mud, and in the councils of government in a way that makes you
understand how the participants experienced it. Von Richtofen,
Lufbery, Ludendorff, and Pershing come alive.”
–MAJOR GENERAL JOHN S. GRINALDS, U.S. Marine Corps (Ret.),
President, The Citadel
