New York, whom he trained with merciless discipline, and who first saw action at Gettysburg. But if Jeff was a born leader, he was also a relentless one. By the time he and his men joined Sherman's army at the Battle of Lookout Mountain, not only some of Jeff's soldiers but also his beloved wife, Kate, had grown to resent this man turned martinet. This is the story of a divided nation, of war and the men who fought it. There were those who were courageous and eager for battle, and there were others who knew only the meaning of cold, brute fear. But all experienced the muddy, sleepless exhaustion of the battlefield. Some were rewarded by the taste of victory; but some - quietly or violently - met death. But it is also the story of great love - of loyalties between brothers-in-arms, and between the soldiers and the women they remembered - and sometimes, of great and tragic misunderstanding.... With compelling vividness, John Brick not only brings to life the fighters of the 195th New York, but also re-creates the stirring events that closed the Civil War: the sacking of Atlanta, Sherman's ruth¬less March to the Sea, the pillaging of South Carolina - ******
