Eicher Author of The Longest Night: A Military History of the Civil War Testament by Benson Bobrick is a touching and intimate portrait of one man's adventure during the Civil War. Rarely does a book provide such a compelling window into what war can mean to a single human being. Jeffry D. Wert Author of Gettysburg: Day Three Testament is a gripping story of one Union soldier's experiences in the Civil War. Benjamin "Webb" Baker's letters are rich in details, full of patriotism, and frank about the horror and hardships. Benson Bobrick has written a compelling book. Jay Winik Author of April 1865: The Month That Saved America Benson Bobrick's Testament -- the story of his Union great-grandfather in the Civil War -- is part biography, part war story, part treasure trove of newly discovered letters.
