Praise for A Promise Delivered

"What a timely and inspiring history. The word 'hero' is bandied about so often that it begins to lack real meaning. How fortunate that Seidule and Williams have helped restore full value to the real actions that define heroism, sacrifice, virtue, and honor." 
Ken Burns, award-winning documentarian and filmmaker

"Exhilarating and fascinating..... awe-inspiring and inspirational... This is a book that should be read by anyone
interested in U.S. military history-or history period."
Max Boot, New York Times bestselling author of Reagan: His Life and Legend 

"Brilliantly argued with conviction and passion... moving... a beacon of inspiration to a new generation of Americans."
James Carville, New York Times bestselling author of We're Still Right, They're Still Wrong

“The promise of human equality that Seidule and Williams refer to is almost two hundred and fifty years old. They tell the story of why and how the American military finally decided to keep it, by removing the names of the Confederate soldiers and replacing them with true heroes on our military bases, thereby making the Lost Cause live up to its name.” 
Joseph J. Ellis, Pulitzer Prize-winning American historian and New York Times bestselling author of The Cause

“A compelling, behind-the-scenes account of how U.S. military bases came to be named for treasonous Confederate leaders until the Naming Commission, created by Congress, righted this historical wrong. Not least, A Promise Delivered reveals how far this country has come in honoring those worthy of honor.” 
Rick Atkinson, New York Times bestselling author of The British are Coming

"These thrilling stories of true heroes, their names now enshrined at U.S. military bases, should be required reading by every student, every soldier, every American as inspiring lessons for our time and the future.... invaluable and illuminating." 
Sidney Blumenthal, author of All the Powers of Earth: The Political Life of Abraham Lincoln
