Thirteen years before the outbreak of the Civil War, many of the leaders on the opposite sides of that war, Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S. Grant, Longstreet, Jackson, Hancock, et al., traveled to Mexico to battle the wily and enigmatic Mexican General Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana. Told through the eyes of two very different men, Robert E. Lee and General Winfield Scott, GONE FOR SOLDIERS is not merely the story of the two-year struggle on unfamiliar soil. It is also the story of an untested engineer first experiencing the horrors of war and assuming a position as a leader of men.

When Michael Shaara's classic novel of Gettysburg, The Killer Angels, first appeared, it won the Pulitzer Prize and became an instant classic. Now Michael's son Jeff picks up his father's legacy, with a gripping novel that begins with the first rumors of war and ends where his father's landmark book takes off. Here is a detailed, passionate, insightful portrait of four leaders-Robert E. Lee, "Stonewall" Jackson, Winfield Scott Hancock, and Joshua Chamberlain-as they grimly fight the battles that will change American history, and their own livers, forever.

As the story opens, Gettysburg is past and the war advances to its third brutal year. On the Union side, the gulf between the politicians in Washington and the generals in the field yawns ever wider. Never has the cumbersome Union Army so desperately needed a decisive, hard-nose leader. It is at this critical moment that Lincoln places Ulysses S. Grant in command-and turns the tide of war.
