Publisher's Synopsis
Written in the Southern vernacular, The Battle for Georgia is an epic historical fiction set during the American Civil War about the lives of a small band of strong-willed and strong-armed Southerners. Highlighting battles fought by troops heading from the Hood stronghold and hollows of Tennessee to the burning of Atlanta, amid whitewashed Northern viewpoints, this novel revives a decidedly proud Southern tradition of fierce independence and ingenuity. A telling, forceful and lively debut, author and historian Robert W. Hester proves that through power and sacrifice one person can make all the difference in war and in life. Poignantly wrought and beautifully penned, the author reflects on the vastly different military and political strategies that might have affected the American Civil War's outcome. More than mere narrative, this book contains a pictorial element that is both powerful and unique.
