In this fourth book of Reasoner's ten-book Civil War series, as Cory Brannon has a chance to assist the South with supplies brought in by blockade-runners and discovers his sweetheart Lucille Farrell, a sense of obligation and duty stirs in the hotheaded Titus back home in Virginia, and the Confederate cause claims another Brannon son, this one a gifted rifleman.
In early 1863, a fitful calm pervades the Virginia front until another Union commander is named. Joe Hooker leads his army into the wooded wilderness and confidently stakes his fortunes on an encounter with Robert E. Lee near the roadside inn at Chancellorsville. As the battle rushes toward them, Will and Mac Brannon witness the boldest move a field commander can make and the greatest loss the Confederacy can struggle to bear.

"This installment of the Civil War series has been most enjoyable. New characters have been introduced of which the subtly intelligent Pie Jones was my favorite. All family members were included in significant parts of the book." — Nick (4 out of 5 stars)
"This installment of the Civil War series has been most enjoyable. New characters have been introduced of which the subtly intelligent Pie Jones was my favorite. All family members were included in significant parts of the book."
“Contains the usual trappings (gallant Southern heroes, brave women, secret missions, and bloody battles) that readers have come to expect.”
“[We] recommend these books.”
“Robust, detail rich, and well-paced…Reasoner’s battle narrative provides equal parts pathos and accuracy.”
“Fraught with passion, tension, and tenderness.”
" As with the prior 3 books, this one was good. Focusing on multiple members of the family - however it seemed like Reasoner cut away too long from Cory's story. It picks up again in the 5th book right away however. "
" another excellent edition in this Civil War series. "
" Good start to learn more about the battle and Civil War. Enough detail to create drama and respect for the courage of the combatants. "
