Query: Best Forstchen Yet

I was fortunate enough to read an advance copy of this novel by Bill Forstchen relating the Civil War experiences of a teenage Black soldier. Based in historical fact, this is the best work by Forstchen I have read. His expertise as a historian and his ability as a storyteller come together in this novel. He has a clear understanding of the tragedies of slavery and war and brings them together in an uplifting story of a struggle for freedom. If you have followed his Lost Regiment series you won't want to miss a story that's equally compelling but set closer to home.
