Hell or Richmond

Winner of the American Library Association’s 2014 W.Y. Boyd Award for Literary Excellence in Military Fiction

Between May 5 and June 3, 1864, the Union and Confederate armies suffered 88,000 casualties. Twenty­nine thousand were killed, wounded, or captured in the first two days of combat. The savagery shocked a young, divided nation. Against this backdrop of the birth of modern warfare and the painful rebirth of the United States, Hell or Richmond shows thirty days of ceaseless carnage through the eyes of a compelling cast. From Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee to a simple laborer destined to win the Medal of Honor, Peters brings to life an enthralling array of leaders and simple soldiers from both North and South, fleshing out history with stunning, knowledgeable realism.
