Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From Jeff Shaara comes the riveting final installment in the Civil War series that began with A Blaze of Glory and continued in A Chain of Thunder and The Smoke at Dawn . November 1864: As the Civil War rolls into its fourth bloody year, the tide has turned decidedly in favor of the Union. A grateful Abraham Lincoln responds to Ulysses S. Grant's successes by bringing the general east, promoting Grant to command the entire Union war effort, while William Tecumseh Sherman now directs the Federal forces that occupy all of Tennessee. In a massive surge southward, Sherman conquers the city of Atlanta, sweeping aside the Confederate army under the inept leadership of General John Bell Hood. Pushing through northern Georgia, Sherman's legendary March to the Sea shoves away any Rebel presence, and by Christmas 1864 the city of Savannah falls into the hands of "Uncle Billy." Now there is but one direction for Sherman to go. In his way stands the last great hope for the Southern cause, General Joseph E. Johnston. In the concluding novel of his epic Civil War tetralogy, Jeff Shaara tells the dramatic story of the final eight months of battle from multiple perspectives: the commanders in their tents making plans for total victory, as well as the ordinary foot soldiers and cavalrymen who carried out their orders until the last alarum sounded. Through Sherman's eyes, we gain insight into the mind of the general who vowed to "make Georgia howl" until it surrendered. In Johnston, we see a man agonizing over the limits of his army's power, and accepting the burden of leading the last desperate effort to ensure the survival of the Confederacy. The Civil War did not end quietly. It climaxed in a storm of fury that lay waste to everything in its path. The Fateful Lightning brings to life those final brutal, bloody months of fighting with you-are-there immediacy, grounded in the meticulous research that readers have come to expect from Jeff Shaara.

    The book was in excellent condition, as described in the listing, and was excellently packaged, arriving in unblemished condition. The shipping time was very quick. While the listing showed the book with a dust jacket, the book did not come with one. I brought this to the attention of the seller, who responded to me right away, and was satisfied with the seller's explanation. I have to say that the service was in every way outstanding.

    The book arrived swiftly packaged in a protective plastic envelope, but it was a paperback not hardcover as listed. I contacted seller and they apologized, refunded me and suggested several things to do with the book after allowing me to keep it. I have gone ahead and ordered a hardcover from the same seller. I’m a repeat customer and hope to remain so. This mixup was a first, but I’m very impressed with their prompt response and professionalism. Kudos :)

  • Sherman's March Across Georgia: Rescuer or Renegade

    The Fateful Lightning is the fourth, and final, volume in a series that tells the story of the Civil War in the "West." (West being areas West of the Appalachian mountains.) From the first three volumes, A Blaze of Glory dealt with the 1862 campaign at Shiloh. A Chain of Thunder describes the summer of 1863 and the siege of Vicksburg. The Smoke at Dawn carries the reader into the Fall of 1863 as the campaign around Chattanooga develops. The Fateful Lightning picks up with General Sherman's campaigns from November of 1864 across north and central Georgia and into North Carolina by April,1865, at war's end. This tale is told through 4 different voices: General William T. Sherman, himself, his adversary, General William Hardee, and a Confederate cavalryman Captain James Seeley, all whom we ...

  • Great for Civil War buffs

    Great book, although a novel it follows the actual events, It is part of a number of books using the same characters so it breathes life into real people and creates fictional people to tell the story of the average soldiers as well as the leaders.

    I haven’t read any of Jeff Sahara books yet. I have started one of the John Jake’s books. The books are in great shape. Thanks for taking such great care of the books. Paula
