While Fort Sumter still smolders, two young men from Dublin, Ohio enlist to experience the glory of war before it's all over. What they find is less about patriotic speeches & kisses from pretty girls than about the realities of battle. This unforgettable novel is so strictly based on regimental histories & soldiers' recovered letters that it has been called non-fiction. Noted Civil War historian & regular contributor to BLUE & GRAY MAGAZINE, the author brings us a story about truth & one man's attempt to make peace with his past. "There's confusion as to what this war is about. Some say freeing the slaves or holding the Union tight. I don't know about that. What I know is what I hear on the battlefield after the cannon have pulled back. A fog drifts over the men who lie there. As it lifts, the men begin to call out. It ain't for Frederick Douglass or Abraham Lincoln. It's a sweetheart... wife... mother... dad.--Nolan Giles. $11.95, trade paperback, 250 pages.
