Zustand: Good. The ferocious final weeks of the Civil War come alive in Judgment at Appomattox, the final novel of New York Times bestselling author Ralph Peters's breathtaking, Boyd Award-winning series A great war nears its end. Robert E. Lee makes a desperate, dramatic gamble. It fails. Ulysses S. Grant moves. Veteran armies clash around Petersburg, Virginia, as Grant seeks to surround Lee and Lee makes a skillful withdrawal in the night. Richmond falls. Each day brings new combat and more casualties, as Lee's exhausted, hungry troops race to preserve the Confederacy. But Grant does not intend to let Lee escape. In one of the most thrilling episodes in American history, heroes North and South, John Brown Gordon and Phillip Sheridan, James Longstreet and Francis Channing Barlow, battle each other across southern Virginia as the armies converge on a sleepy country court house. Written with the literary flair and historical accuracy readers expect from Ralph Peters, Judgment at Appomattox takes us through the Civil War's last grim interludes of combat as flags fall and hearts break. Capping the author's acclaimed five-novel cycle on the war in the East, this "dramatized history" pays homage to all the soldiers who fought, from an Irish-immigrant private wearing gray, to the "boy generals" who mastered modern war. This is a grand climax to a great, prize-winning series that honors--and reveals--America's past.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Winner of the American Library Association's W. Y. Boyd Award for Excellence in Military Fiction Two mighty armies blunder toward each other, one led by confident, beloved Robert E. Lee and the other by dour George Meade. They'll meet in a Pennsylvania crossroads town where no one planned to fight. In this sweeping, savagely realistic novel, the greatest battle ever fought on American soil explodes into life at Gettysburg. As generals squabble, staffs err. Tragedy unfolds for immigrants in blue and barefoot Rebels alike. The fate of our nation will be decided in a few square miles of fields. Following a tough Confederate sergeant from the Blue Ridge, a bitter Irish survivor of the Great Famine, a German political refugee, and gun crews in blue and gray, Cain at Gettysburg is as grand in scale as its depictions of combat are unflinching. For three days, battle rages. Through it all, James Longstreet is haunted by a vision of war that leads to a fateful feud with Robert E. Lee. Scheming Dan Sickles nearly destroys his own army. Gallant John Reynolds and obstreperous Win Hancock, fiery William Barksdale and dashing James Johnston Pettigrew, gallop toward their fates. There are no marble statues on this battlefield, only men of flesh and blood, imperfect and courageous. From New York Times bestselling author and former U.S. Army officer Ralph Peters, Cain at Gettysburg is bound to become a classic of men at war.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. New York Times bestselling author Ralph Peters returns with the fourth installment in his Boyd Award-winning series on the Civil War, The Damned of Petersburg.Glory turned grim, and warfare changed forever. From the butchery of The Crater, where stunning success collapsed into a massacre, through near-constant battles fought by heat-stricken soldiers, to the crucial election of 1864, The Damned of Petersburg resurrects the American Civil War's hard reality, as plumes and sabers gave way to miles of trenches.Amid the slaughter of those fateful months, fabled leaders--Grant and Lee, Winfield Scott Hancock and A. P. Hill--turned for help to rising heroes, Confederates Little Billy Mahone and Wade Hampton, last of the cavaliers, or Union warriors such as tragedy-stricken Francis Channing Barlow and the fearless Nelson Miles, a general at twenty-four.Nor does Ralph Peters forget the men in the ranks, the common soldiers who paid the price for the blunders of commanders who'd never know their names. In desperate battles now forgotten, such as Deep Bottom, Globe Tavern, and Reams Station, soldiers on both sides were pushed to the last human limits--but fought on as their superiors struggled to master a terrible new age of warfare.The Damned of Petersburg revives heroes aplenty--enriching readers' knowledge of America's most terrible war--but above all, this novel is a tribute to the endurance and courage of the American soldier, North or South.Battle Hymn CycleCain at GettysburgHell or RichmondValley of the ShadowThe Damned of PetersburgJudgment at Appomattox.…
