History with a personal touchBy Terry McguireA very interesting history that doesn't recite dry details; but presents the human side of a gallant soldier.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Very Interesting BiographyBy Edward M. HodenUltimate Sacrifice is a quick and interesting read on the military career of a Union Civil War colonel. As the biography of William Gray Murray; the book has a nice pace; easy prose; and covers a lot of ground. Mr. Gainer does a very good job of capturing the trials and tribulations of an immigrant turned soldier in the 1800's United States; right down to the bullet which took Murray's life. The book also works as a survey of the life of a 19th century American soldier. One has to wonder how many other Col. Murrays there were serving on both sides of the War Between the States. This book provides a glimpse into the men who were surely the heart and soul of the American and Confederate armies.
