Two families clash on and off the Civil War's battlefields as they grapple with the violent truths of a divided nation in this #1 New York Times bestseller. America's master storyteller and "godfather of historical novelists" (Los Angeles Times) continues his reign with Love and War, part two of the epic North and South Trilogy, a story steeped in passion and betrayal. With the Confederate and Union armies furiously fighting, the once-steadfast bond between the Main and Hazard families continues to be tested. From opposite sides of the conflict, they face heartache and triumph on the frontlines as they fight for the future of the nation and their loved ones. With his impeccable research and unfailing devotion to the historical record, John Jakes offers his most enthralling and enduring tale yet.
