“[Prokopowicz’s] study is valuable and should provoke further inquiry.” — CHOICE

“The first history of the Army of the Ohio published since the nineteenth century. . . . [Prokopowicz] provides a window to understanding the Civil War in a new light. . . . Prokopowicz is to be commended. . . . [He] challenges Civil War scholars to advance the study of Civil War armies.” — Journal of Southern History

“An insightful and incisive analysis of Civil War military culture, of the disorganization of Civil War armies — the key to their sloppy, indecisive, and deadly performances. This is an excellent anti-romance, original and unusual in approach and refreshingly honest.” — Michael Fellman, author of The Making of Robert E. Lee

“This book fills an important niche in the history of Civil War armies. Lucid and lively, All for the Regiment shows how recruitment, training, and combat forged the bonds of comradeship that sustained morale and fighting power. It is a book that students of the Civil War will want to read.” — James M. McPherson, Princeton University
