About this audiobook

The smoke and thunder of the American Civil War reach a fever pitch in this sprawling epic of the Confederacy's final days. Focusing on the human cost of the struggle, the story examines the fraying threads of a society under siege. It is a somber, deeply researched meditation on the weight of duty and the scars left by a nation divided.
