In March of 1896, Andrew Jackson Mundy, a senator from one of the Deep South states, is secretly urged by Marc Hanna, the manipulative millionaire kingmaker, to allow his name to be put forward as McKinley's running mate in the upcoming presidential election. Had Mundy jumped party lines and seized the opportunity, he would have become President of the United States rather than Theodore Roosevelt when McKinley was assassinated. Why, then had he not done so?
Thus begins a story that goes back to the Civil War. Mundy serves under the charismatic, West Point educated, Evan Martin, a brilliant and ambitious soldier seeking fame and glory. Promoted to Major General and put at the head of a ragtag Confederate army, Martin is charged with thwarting a Federal invasion and makes the impressionable Andrew Jackson Mundy his aide-de-camp. At first, Martin seems to achieve tactical and strategic miracles, but, all too soon, Martin shows his true self and Mundy becomes an unwilling participant in a shameful atrocity.
Through the experiences of Andrew Jackson Mundy, General Evan Martin, and dozens of other colorful characters, Robert H. Fowler provides the reader with deep insights into the tactics and strategy of Civil War battles. In this brilliant and thrilling story, reminiscent of the novels of Jeff Shaara and MacKinlay Kantor, Fowler reveals the nature of true courage and brings a tumultuous chapter in American history to poignant life.
