Get past the title! This is probably the best historical novel you will ever read. You will know the people and events with a personal intimacy. You are drawn into the drama of living history, and do not want it to end.

Historical accuracy is preserved, even as it receives a life far richer than could be portrayed in film. If you haven't read it, and you enjoy Civil War history, it is a must.

Listen to it, or read it. You won't be sorry.
