Gods' War (2023)by Russell W. Glenn

Gods' War Kindle Edition
(2023)by Russell W. Glenn (Author), John Czarzasty (Illustrator)

One man, one decision, and the course of a nation is forever changed. The man is Robert E. Lee. The decision: accept President Abraham Lincoln¡¯s April 18, 1861 offer to lead a Union army. Lee assumes command of the Army of the Potomac. He fights its battles on the ground and dates where and when they were actually fought¡­but herein they are contested in ways found in no history book. That is in no small part due to the man who emerges as his primary antagonist: Thomas J. (Stonewall) Jackson.
In Lee, Lincoln gets the general that eluded him in the opening years of the American Civil War: a highly competent leader, though not an invincible one. Lee soon finds himself plagued by too many subordinates¡¯ political ambitions even as he seeks to put others better qualified in command positions. Vainglorious and inept Nathaniel Banks; cocksure former senator and presidential candidate John C. Fremont; grizzled yet lion-hearted Samuel Heintzelman; Thomas Francis Meagher, a convicted seditionist who escapes Tasmania and crosses an ocean to lead the legendary Irish Brigade; and hardened veteran of fighting in the American West John Buford: these are among Lee¡¯s generals bad, good, and great. Jefferson Davis¡¯s choice to lead his Army of Northern Virginia finds his challenges are much the same.
