A tale of courage, cowardice, death, life, growth, war, violence, redemption, and finally, love and compassion..A gentle compelling story about such an ungentle time. -- Washington Post
Captures the details of wartime Virginia with stunning force. -- People
This novel blots out the protection of historical distance. It is astonishingly immediate. Its research is magnificent but never intrudes. It becomes the story of war itself, how brutal it is, how courageous, how slowly and inexorably mad. -- Mary Lee Settle
Boldly capricious, blessed with a host of vivid and memorable characters and a wealth of striking and credible events, Donald McCaig's powerful, compassionate story is deeply rooted in the real and living presence of Virginia before, during, and after the Civil War. Jacob's Ladder is historical fiction at its finest, and it places Donald McCaig in the pantheon of the best and brightest American novelists. -- George Garrett
The finest novel about the Civil War ever written. -- Virginia Quarterly
McCaig's prose is gorgeous...One of the best Civil War novels...Stunning. -- Houston Chronicle
