REVIEWS

  “Donald Mang’s novel One Nation Under God is not just a good book it is an astoundingly good book. The author has delivered one of the finest Civil War novels of the last decade or more. If you like action, romance, authentic history, and a riveting read, you will love this book. The research that went into the writing must be mind boggling. The book is never preachy, but God is present, and oh yes, you can give this book to anyone of almost any age without worry. Buy the book, you will not be sorry you did.”  
  —John Austin, WTAN–Tan Talk Radio Network, Clearwater, Florida  
  “The book is wonderful! Fascinating reading—reading that will enrich our souls. The kind of book that one looks forward to ‘spending time with.’”  
  —Dr. Rosalie Turton, 101 Foundation, Washington, New Jersey  
  “I am pleased to report that I read the book cover to cover and must say that I enjoyed it immensely. You caught the human (and Catholic) side of Civil War life and combat in the book extremely well. I believe it will make a fine addition to our Catholic fiction collection. I’ve already spoken to the acquisitions librarian, and she’s excited about having it, too.”  
  —Robert C. Doyle, Ph.D., Professor of History, Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio

  —Debra Durkee, Reporter, Metro Group, Inc., Cheektowaga, New York  
  “The professionals say to read a book before you go to bed to get tired. When I read your book, I’m wide-eyed and really enjoying it. (It’s 2:22 a.m.!)—a lot of things that I never knew regarding the Civil War! I know it made me think and wonder how these people survived! I also never realized the different nationalities that were involved in that war—or that the Irish were not well liked.”  
  —Sue Hess, Niagara Frontier Civil War Roundtable, Farmersville, New York
