Description
Cain at Gettysburg A Novel by Ralph Peters is a sweeping and realistic novel that brings to life the bloodiest battle ever fought on American soil. In April 1863, two mighty armies clash in a Pennsylvania crossroads town, where no one planned to fight. The fate of the nation will be decided in a few square miles of fields. As generals squabble and staffs err, tragedy unfolds for immigrants on both sides of the conflict. From tough Confederate sergeants to bitter Irish survivors, gun crews in blue and gray, and German political refugees, Peters masterfully weaves together the stories of men from different walks of life. The battle rages for three days, with no marble statues to commemorate it - only men of flesh and blood, imperfect and courageous. A gripping portrayal of war, Cain at Gettysburg is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the American Civil War era.
