COUNTRY: An Epic Novel of West Point and the Civil War (Duty, Honor, Country Book 3)

Description
The Civil War has begun, and the bonds forged at West Point are now tested on opposite sides of the conflict. Ulysses S. Grant, promoted to brigadier general, faces his greatest challenge yet -- commanding green troops against Confederate forces while navigating the treacherous politics of military command.
Lucius Rumble, now a sergeant major and Lincoln's personal observer, witnesses the chaos of Bull Run and the soul of a divided nation. Brother against brother. Father searching for son. North against South.
At Palatine plantation in Mississippi, the Rumble family fractures along the same fault lines that split the country. While Sally Skull, the legendary Texas gunfighter, sides with Confederate forces, bringing her own brand of justice to the war.
From the political intrigue of Lincoln's Washington to the naval duel between the Monitor and Merrimack, from the fall of Forts Henry and Donelson to Grant's desperate stand at Shiloh, Country brings to life the pivotal first year of the Civil War through the eyes of those who lived it.
Mark Twain navigates the chaos as a reluctant Confederate militiaman. Sherman battles both the enemy and his own demons at Bull Run. And at Shiloh, in a place called the Hornet's Nest, thousands of men on both sides will learn the true cost of war in America's bloodiest single day of combat to date.
As Grant says after the slaughter: "Lick 'em tomorrow."
The war is just beginning.
