The Battle of Milroy Station: A Novel of the Nature of True Courage

By Robert H. Fowler

Book Overview

Civil War soldier Andrew Jackson Mundy served under charismatic West Point graduate Evan Martin, a brilliant and ambitious soldier. At the head of a ragtag Confederate army, General Martin was charged with thwarting a Federal invasion and made the impressionable Mundy his aide-de-camp. At first, Martin achieved tactical and strategic miracles, but all too soon, the General showed his true self, and an unwilling Mundy became a participant in a shameful atrocity at the Battle of Milroy Station. In this brilliant and thrilling story, reminiscent of the novels of Jeff Shaara and MacKinlay Kantor, Fowler reveals the nature of true courage and brings a tumultuous chapter in American History to poignant life.

Outstanding

this is a great novel about the American Civil War. Powerful and authentic, it deal with many issues that were present during the war. The characters are fully realized, and the situations gripping. What is incomprehensible is how the publisher allowed it to sink without a trace. This could have been a big seller, if not a best-seller, and is the kind of book that should be taught in our schools.
