A must-read for those who enjoy the hidden stories behind American history. Ms. Singer has captured a tumultuous family history as she traces the life and trials of William Andrew Winder, the only Union man in an otherwise Confederate family. --Laurie Verge, director of the Surratt House Museum in Clinton, Maryland-- (09/14/2018) Jane Singer is a passionate storyteller and indefatigable researcher. In William A. Winder's compelling saga, she has met a subject worthy of her talents. It's a rattling good tale of shame and redemption, a metaphor, as the author demonstrates, for the 'recovery and reinvention of a fractured nation and her people' at the time of the Civil War. It's great to see Singer in action again! --Richard Willing, intelligence officer and historian-- (09/14/2018) A movie mogul once opined that there are thousands of stories from the Civil War that are worthy of a book or movie. Jane Singer identifies one in The War Criminal's Son. . . . Captain William A. Winder led a long, peripatetic life, splendidly told here. The author confronts us with the excitement and detritus that filled his days. . . . This is a great read. --Frank J. Williams, founding chair of the Lincoln Forum and president of the Ulysses S. Grant Association and Presidential Library-- (09/14/2018)
