A Towering Achievement This book, and the entire By The Hands of Men series, is an incredible achievement by a talented author. It is, by turns, a fascinating look at the early twentieth century, a riveting adventure, an insightful and biting political commentary, and a sweeping romance. The characters are wonderfully and deeply drawn, and I found myself emotionally engaged and borne along by the same set of awful circumstances they faced throughout these wonderful books. This series should be required reading in every high school. I envy those just starting out reading this series... you're in for a rare treat -- Amazon Reviewer, 5 stars Another great book in this series This is another action packed book that is hard to put down. The characters have become real friends and I certainly will read the last book -- Amazon Reviewer, 5 starsRobert is a warrior without a war. Unable to escape his past and incapable of political intrigue, he faces exile in the backwaters of colonial Africa. When innocents are threatened, are honor and duty reason enough to risk everything? For the simple act of telling an ugly truth, Robert Fitzgerald is banished to the African Congo, where the legacy of colonialism is as foul upon the land as the stain of cannibalism. He once more takes up arms for King and Country until he can no longer abide the slaughter and the lies of political convenience. He walks away from it all, but peace eludes the English lieutenant. Whether riding through the jungle with the Boer Commando, battling Muslim slavers in the desert, or laboring on a farm, Robert is bound to confront evil or cruelty. But how can a man fight injustice when the greatest war rages within himself? The Wrath of a Righteous Man is the fifth volume of the By the Hands of Men series. Historical fiction by Roy M. Griffis, this epic sweeps across four continents in a gripping tale of fate, loss, redemption, and love. Read the entire series This series of books was breathtaking. Not only was it very educational, the characters grabbed you from the very beginning and continued throughout the series. I would be inclined to read everything this author writes. -- Amazon Reviewer, 5 stars
