This book is a work of historical fiction. Some of the events depicted in this book are imaginary, and some characters are composites of several individuals; the names of nonhistorical persons or events are the product of the authors’ imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance of such nonhistorical persons or events to actual ones is purely coincidental.
