Thanks to Patrick E. Purcell, who gave Commander Will Cushing a terrific review in Civil War News. “With a skillful account of the Cushing brothers’ careers,” says Purcell, “Jamie Malanowski has created a well-written and often thrilling story that is as engaging as an action novel. His book is highly recommended.” Thanks, too, to Rea Andrew Redd, a professor at Waynesburg University. Writing on his blog Civil War Librarian, Redd calls the book “a retelling of an exciting story about a remarkable individual ” that “is accessible and enjoyable for readers of nearly all ages.” And in his blog Cannonball, York PA-based critic Scott Mingus offers, among other compliments, this recommendation: “Malanowski’s work rectifies a void in recent literature and is a must read for anyone interested in U.S. naval personalities from the Civil War era. It also, quite frankly, is an engaging and stand alone read for anyone who enjoys an adventure tale well told.” Thanks to all reviewers.
