- Comment: My first attempt at writing an article about a book, so while I think this is how these book articles are formatted, no guarantees.

Hi Hog Farm, review follows: article created 31 October 2020; article exceeds minimum length; I'm not overly familiar with book articles myself but this one seems to be in the right format etc; article is well referenced and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I don't have access to Sesser and Owens but happy to AGF there is no overly close paraphrasing from them - I have checked against Anderson with no issues; hooks are interesting to me (I find the first one the most interesting, how unusual to have a military history book without a map!); I can verify both hooks from Anderson; a QPQ has been carried out; - Dumelow (talk) 20:23, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but unlike your other "review" hook (Template:Did you know nominations/Price's Lost Campaign: The 1864 Invasion of Missouri) this one seems less hooky. Another way to write book hooks is to talk about book content. If you would add an inline cite and maybe a drop more information to this fact, you could write:- ALT2:
... that the 2016 book The Collapse of Price's Raid contends that African Americans and Native Americans played a significant role in decision-making during an 1864 American Civil War campaign in Missouri?Yoninah (talk) 22:31, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
