“Gripping.”

“Fleming recreates, in precise detail, not only history, but atmosphere. The story he tells is one that will come as a surprise to many Civil War buffs. His research is so thorough, however, that they can believe what they read. Fascinating, high drama, breath-holding suspense, and memorable characters make this an extraordinary novel I would not hesitate to give to anyone.”

—Morgan Llywelyn, international bestselling author of 1916

—Elmer Kelton, author of The Smiling Country
