Description

"It is absolutely unique--without question the most fascinating Civil War novel I have ever read."
Professor James M. McPherson
Pultizer Prize-winning BATTLE CRY OF FREEDOM
January 1864--General Robert E. Lee faces defeat. The Army of Northern Virginia is ragged and ill-equpped. Gettysburg has broken the back of the Confederacy and decimated its manpower.
Then, Andries Rhoodie, a strange man with an unplaceable accent, approaches Lee with an extraordinary offer. Rhoodie demonstrates an amazing rifle: Its rate of fire is incredible, its lethal efficiency breathtaking--and Rhoodie guarantees unlimited quantitites to the Confederates.
The name of the weapon is the AK-47....

  • Favorite Book has too many flaws

    This is one of my favorite books. I've had a print copy for years. I had hoped to have this soft copy to carry with me. However, there are far too many typos and wrong words and phrases for the book to be enjoyable. As many as 1 every other page. I brought these serious errors to the attention of Apple customer service. They did not care, nor will they refund my purchase. I'm sure Harry Turtledove would be upset to know Apple is peddling this extremely poor quality version of his work. Very disappointed. Buyer beware!
