Hmmm... I think I may have to respectfully disagree with you gentlemen. I have read Scorched Earth, (although none of Carrell's other volumes) and was not as impressed as the rest of you. It seemed Carrell was writing alot of his own story. It read more like a novel than an actual history. Carrell didn't seem to ever cite any sources, and there were never any numbers given.
And the biggest thing- on many occasions Carrell wrote about what soldiers were thinking and how they felt. I always wonder when I read this in a history- how did Carrell find out what all those people were thinking? Veterans' accounts only go so far...

Any feedback? Did I get a bum copy? (I think my version is from Schiffer- not at home right now to check...)
