    A Classic!

    A very poignant look at war, through the eyes of a civil war soldier, who runs away. Definitely worth a read.

    Read an earlier edition of this quite remarkable book. Stephen was 28 years of age when he died. What might he have achieved if he'd lived to old age! The battlefield scenes are superb. But like all battles where men kill and are killed, where acts of heroism take place in titanic life and death struggles, and the blood runs deep - away from the battlefield the sun still shines and people carry on with their lives as if nothing unusual is happening. Do those people really care?
