“With great fidelity to detail, Keith Rocco captures the drama and tension of Civil War soldiers in action with greater realism and less romanticism than most other Civil War artists. To look at a Rocco painting is almost like being there.” – James M. McPherson, Pulitzer-winning author of Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era

“Amid the legion of current Civil War artists recreating the look and feel of our ancestors at war, Keith Rocco stands out. His work reminds one of the great 19th century artists like Gilbert Gaul and Thure de Thulstrup. In Rocco's paintings even the landscape seems alive, while his figures are kinetic. In a field in which so much is destined to be forgotten, Keith Rocco's military art will be remembered.” – William C. Davis, author of more than 45 Civil War books and professor of history at Virginia Tech

“Keith Rocco's paintings combine commendable attention to historical detail with a remarkable sense of mood, capturing the intensity and drama of a moment in time. His vibrant, atmospheric style brings history to life, and much reminds me of the great French artist of the Franco-Prussian War era, Alphonse de Neuville.” – Brian C. Pohanka, co-author of Fighting for Time: The Battle of Monocacy and consultant for Civil War Journal

“Keith Rocco's art catches the realities of Civil War combat with an ease that arouses the jealousy of those of us who try to capture those same events in writing. His paintings stand as proof that a picture is worth a thousand words.” – Gordon C. Rhea, author of Cold Harbor: Grant and Lee, May 26-June 3 and Carrying the Flag: The Story of Private Charles Whilden,The Confederacy's Most Unlikely Hero

“Whether the subject matter is Napoleonic or American Civil War, Keith Rocco captures the essence and urgency of combat. Couple this with his fine attention to uniform detail, and Keith Rocco's excellent work stands on its own merits.” – Scott Bowden, author of Last Chance for Victory: Robert E. Lee & the Gettysburg Campaign and numerous other works

“Keith Rocco excels at what looks simple, but is difficult to achieve; to realistically capture the look and feel of men in battle or on campaign without appearing contrived. In this, he stands with the likes of Winslow Homer, Frederic Remington and Edouard Detaille.” – D. Scott Hartwig, author of High Tide at Gettysburg: The Campaign in Pennsylvania

“Keith Rocco's subject matter and artistic interpretation are always superb. Here is a fine pictorial history that should please the most discriminating Civil War enthusiast.” – Wiley Sword, author of Shiloh: Bloody April and Embrace an Angry Wind: The South's Last Stand at Franklin & Nashville

“Keith Rocco combines a naturalistic realism with provocative imagination to provide compelling visual experiences that greatly add to our understanding of the Civil War battlefield.” – Brent Nosworthy, military historian and author of The Bloody Crucible of Courage: Fighting Methods & Combat Experience of the Civil War
