Should have been 1812" ( I disagree. Ed.)
By SEMO Bookfan
"First off, this is a great fictional account of a small family pulling together to survive in the pioneer wilderness of New Madrid, MO. For that, I give it 5 stars. Seriously, this book could well become a motion picture."

Steven A. Knutson, Author of Confessions from the Last Frontier and It Takes One to Catch One

"Hi, it is me, thanks for reading thus stuff. One of the perks of writing is to offer other authors thoughtful and critical reviews of their work. I do this often for the opportunity to place a blurb on a back cover. This man shocked me by placing my book review on his title page. A high compliment indeed. I reprint it for you here."

Review of Valley of the Shadow
Steven Knutson has a message for you. Don't believe that crap you hear
about
Valley of the Shadow is crafted of machine gun prose and bayonet sharp opinion. Knutson lays bare the culture and personalities of the Air Force enlisted man, the devious nature of American journalism and the failures of bumbling politicians as only a man who experienced the war first hand could do.
And he doesn't mince words. Knutson engages the reader with a clear, concise narrative with a highly visual but conventional style. You'll feel like he is confiding to you over a cold beer in a quiet corner.
Valley of the Shadow should be required reading for anyone born after 1960. The information he relates puts this war into clear perspective so that the reader can have a better understanding of why America didn't lose, but, instead, America failed to win.
