Customer Reviews

Fantastic Read! Lively, funny and full of information

I picked this up in Louisiana, to dull the 6 hours of fly time back home to Wasington DC. Wow! Frankly, I read it twice, and have passed it on to a friend, and he'd better take good care of it. A great story, with details, intriguing situations, and thorough emotional context. A really great book. I highly recommend it.

What if it really happened?

It could have happened. Edwin Rommel meets William Faulkner for a pre - WWII romp through North Mississippi in search of Nathan Bedford Forrest's war waging strategy. What fun and what a great means of absorbing history in this delighful work of fiction...or did it happen?
