5.0 out of 5 stars Interested in the real stories behind the history?, January 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Valor in Gray: The Recipients of the Confederate Medal of Honor (Hardcover)

This is by far the most tantalizing book on Civil War history I have ever read. Gregg Clemmer describes the actual stories behind the men that earned the post-humous Confederate Medal of Honor. His writing draws the reader into the world of subject and let's you feel the bitter chill, and hear the whistling shells of battle.

Valor in Gray sends you back in time to the battlefields of the 1860's and clouds your nostrils with the smell of burnt powder. I have read many books on many wars, but none have captured my imagination or emotion as well as Valor in Gray.

Gregg Clemmer writes in detail about the events that occured that caused these men to be remembered. He has spent countless hours researching the character of each recipient and the things they did to deserve their tragic honor. Whether a descendant of the North or the South, this book will make you feel the emotion that drove these men to risk their lives for the values and beliefs they held dear. Each chapter is devoted to a separate Confederate Medal of Honor recipient and is devoted to that individual. Valor in Gray is destined to be one of the best books on Civil War history ever written.

VALOR IN GRAY is an attractive and well written book. Gregg S. Clemmer explains the background of the Confederate Medal of Honor then presents a brief biographical sketch of each award winner. An appendix lists the Confederate Roll of Honor. For those interested in Confederate military exploits on a personal level, this book would make a welcome addition to your library. Minor mistakes are the only thing preventing a five star rating.
