5 Forks to Appomattox
A sweeping narrative of the most fascinating conflict in American History. Never before have the great battles and exciting personalities, of the great war, been so dramatically - and so vividly - presented. The story is told entirely from the view point of the people involved in it. The reader not only learns what was happening in the North and the South, on a political, military, diplomatic, and home fronts - the reader lives through the events as if she/he were there. Lincoln's second inaugaral sets the tone for final months of the war, invoking "charity for all" on the Eve of Five Forks and the Grant-Lee race for Appomattox. Here is the dust and the stench of war in its twilight.
