Historical
An explosive novel of the Civil War about one man’s
escape from a notorious Confederate prison camp---and his
dramatic
return to save his men.
July 1864. Union officer Nathan
Parker has been imprisoned at nightmarish Andersonville
prison camp in
Georgia along with his soldiers. As others die around them,
Nathan and
his men hatch a daring plan to allow him to escape through a
tunnel and
make his way to Vicksburg, where he intends to alert
his superiors
to the imprisonment and push for military action. His
efforts are
blocked by higher-ups in the military, so Parker takes
matters
into his own hands. Together with a shady, dangerous
ex-soldier and
smuggler named Marcel Lafarge and a fascinating collection of
cutthroats, soldiers, and castoffs, a desperate Parker organizes
a private rescue mission to free his men before it’s too
late.
Exciting, thoroughly researched, and
dramatic, Escape from Andersonville is a Civil War
novel filled with action, memorable characters, and vividly
realized descriptions of the war’s final year.
