Of all the works on Marshall, this book is the most accessible and also the best. Soltis has written countless books, but his historical works are usually very good. The annotations are deeper than those provided by Marshall in his own book, the analysis is better, the historical references are great and the production value, as is habitual for books from McFarland, are top notch. If you are to get just one book on Marshall, this should be the go-to, it will give you everything you want and even more.”—American Chess Magazine.
