Despite being over half a century old, the book has no rivals for what it attempts to do, although there are closely related books. Michael Fellman's "Inside War" tells of, and explains, the mentalities of each side and the terror experienced by supporters of both sides. Edward E. Leslie's "The Devil Knows How to Ride" is a fuller and updated account of Quantrill and his gang.
Most of Brownlee's analysis has held up very well over five decades. But some points of disagreement exist. For example, most modern historians accept the stories of the mutilation of the bodies of fallen soldiers at the Centralia Massacre.But overall, one is impressed with Brownlee's diligence in research and judiciousness at a time before the unpublished Union Provost Marshal's records were recognized for their importance.
