What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Impressive in its massive presentation of information … “Son of the Morning Star “makes good reading–its prose is elegant, its tone the voice of dry wit, its meandering narrative skillfully crafted. Mr. Connell is above all a storyteller, and the story he tells is vastly more complicated than who did what to whom on June 25, 1876.”–Page Stenger, “The New York Times Book Review” ”“Son of the Morning Star” leaves the reader astonished.“–“The Washington Post” “A scintillating book, thoroughly researched and brilliantly constructed.”–“The Wall Street Journal “
