A fictionalized account of an alternate American Civil War, based on five years of research, considers how history might have transpired if General Robert E. Lee had won the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863. Reprint. 100,000 first printing.

The forces of General Robert E. Lee march to Washington, DC, to launch an assault against one of the largest fortifications in the world. He must also overcome the defiant stand of President Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln has appointed General Ulysses S Grant as commander of all Union forces. Grant races east to confront Lee.

Having pursued the remnants of the defeated Army of the Potomac up to the banks of the Susquehanna, General Robert E Lee is caught off balance when news arrives that General Ulysses S Grant, in command of over seventy thousand men, has crossed that same river, and is advancing down the Cumberland Valley towards Virginia.
