Review
"Fritz points up Jackson's eccentric ways (which included sleeping between wet sheets to improve his digestion, and constantly sucking on lemons), his unbending strictness, his passion for danger and battle, the inhuman demands he made on himself and his men, and the driving ambition that was ever at war with his strong religious beliefs. . . . And Fritz fills out the portrait with the fond little jokes and anecdotes the men exchanged about their leader's peculiarities. . . Well done." --Kirkus Reviews
