In this brilliant fictional tour de force that can be read as a novel or performed as readers' theater, award-winning author Paul Fleischman re-creates the first great battle of the Civil War from the points of view of sixteen participants, Northern and Southern, male and female, white and black. Here are voices that tell of the dreams of glory, the grim reality, the hopes, horror, and folly of a nation discovering the true nature of war.
