“Massive, lusty, highly readable…A graphic, fast-paced amalgam of good, evil, love, lust, war, violence, and Americana.”—The Washington Post Book World

From the first shots at Fort Sumter, the Hazards and the Mains are divided against each other—and themselves. Some will experience the horrors of war on the front lines on some of the bloodiest battlefields of the Civil War. Some will give their lives for their beliefs. But all will be caught in the triumph and tragedy of a conflict that destroyed a country’s innocence—and forged a nation.
