The Long Roll truly captures the epic scale of the Civil War. It follows the journey of Richard Cleave, a Confederate artillery officer, and General "Stonewall" Jackson as they fight their way through the battles of Manassas, the Seven Days, Malvern Hill, and Sharpsburg. Details of strategy, tactics, and logistics are brilliantly mixed with penetrating descriptions of raw, almost suicidal, courage. Add to that some genuine insight into the confused motives that caused the war, and you have a "must read" for any Civil War or history buff.
