"James and Kevin Bannon, the two brothers introduced in Look Away, continue to serve on opposing sides. James with the 4th Virginia Regiment and Kevin commanding a company in the 4th New Jersey. In their struggle to survive, their fear that one day they'd encounter each other on the battlefield was finally realized during the terrible conclusion of the third day at Gettysburg. Now, in the bloody aftermath of that titanic struggle, James and Kevin continue their brutal and bloody experience of war. From the dark and inconclusive days of the Mine Run Campaign in the fall of 1863, through the terrible "Forty Days" that took the two armies from the Wilderness to the gates of Petersburg, the brothers soldier on. James, with Lee's Army, watches as it slowly bleeds itself to death defending a state he has come to love. Kevin, living with the realization that James is serving in the army his nation is committed to destroy, marches with the Army of the Potomac as he alternates between a desperate search for James and his terrible burden as an officer, leading men he has grown to love into bloody battles that will claim their lives."

London England: Headline, 1994. Trade Paperback. 1915. The Death of Innocence. Slight foxing to edge. This book is the latest magnificent book from the writer who has established herself as the leading chronicler of the First World War. Her particular skill is in presenting the human face of what Wilfred Owen described as 'carnage incomparable and human squander'. Although the Regulars of the original Expeditionary Force had suffered 90 per cent casualties and the remnant of the British army had gone to ground, most soldiers still believed that 1915 would see the breaking of the deadlock. Their hopes were shattered on the bloody battlefields of Neuve Chapelle, at Ypres, at Loos and far away on the shores of Gallipoli. Grim resolve replaced early optimis, and innocence died in the r trenches that ran through the Flanders swamps. The book is told from the viewpoint of the men themselves; it is the dogged heroism and sardonic humour of the ordianary soldiers which shine through the pages of the author's epic narrative. This book is a unique blend of compelling military history and poignant memories that can never be equalled.
