<i>Rebel Yell</i> is the best biography of Stonewall Jackson I have ever read. The scholarship is exemplary, the narrative riveting and richly textured. With a rare combination of unflinching objectivity and genuine compassion, <i>Rebel Yell</i> unraveled for me the enigma of Stonewall Jackson. A magnificent achievement, <i>Rebel Yell</i> represents a milestone in Civil War literature. --Peter Cozzens, author of Shenandoah 1862: Stonewall Jackson's Valley Campaign
