Críticas:

"A classic novel of warfare that will be read for years to come." --W.Y. Boyd Literary Novel Award

"Surpasses Michael Shaara's classic The Killer Angels...a brilliant portrayal of how the Confederate infantry felt...In fact, brilliant is an adjective one is tempted to wear out in describing this book..." --Booklist (starred review)

"[A] compelling tale of men at war...Peters's colorful descriptions of harsh army life and the utter chaos of battle are accurate and convincing..." --Publishers Weekly

"Action-packed...vigorous, decisive...Peters is both historically accurate and a well-practiced storyteller [with] a good sense of the language and culture of the time. Among the many strong points of Peters' version is his attention to the immigrant players on the battlefield." --Kirkus Reviews

"Ralph Peters has given us a great treasure! You'll want to keep Cain at Gettysburg long after you've read through it the first time. Visit with the ragged, but proud, veterans of Lee's army; listen to them as they prepare for the fight ahead. You will marvel at this superbly crafted portrait of General George Meade's soldiers in dusty blue, whose courage matched that of their commander. This wonderful saga pulls you right into the ranks of men marching to meet their destiny." --John W. Mountcastle, Brigadier General, U.S. Army (ret.), former Army Chief of Military History

"A captivating novel that combines the accuracy of the historian with the gripping prose of a gifted storyteller...spellbinding..." --Dr. James S. Pula, author of The Sigel Regiment: A History of the 26th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry: 1862-1865 on Cain at Gettysburg

"Ralph Peters has done the seemingly impossible. He has found a new way to tell the story of Gettysburg and simultaneously restore a great general to his rightful place in our minds and hearts." --Thomas Fleming, New York Times bestselling author of The Secret Trial of Robert E. Lee on Cain at Gettysburg

"A great retelling of the Battle of Gettysburg, Cain had my complete attention. Ralph Peters challenges the notion that everything that can be written about this battle has been. His approach is fresh, original, and outstanding in every respect." --General Sid Shachnow, U.S. Army Special Forces (ret.)
