Summary"The best historical novelist of our
time."—Patricia Cornwell
Hailed as "a master of the ancient art of
storytelling" by The New York Times Book Review,
John Jakes recreates the grandeur and adversity of
America's past in his bestselling novels. The eight-volume
saga of the Kent family continues with The Warriors as the
Civil War rages in a young nation still struggling for
acceptance in the world.
Following the final order, and dying wish, of his
commanding officer, Corporal Jeremiah Kent has left his
regiment to deliver a letter to the officer's wife and
daughter at a plantation called Rosewood. After trekking
across a war-ravaged Georgia, Jeremiah arrives at Rosewood
to find a rift between mother and daughter—and the
plantation slaves eager for the freedom a Northern victory
promises. But with the Union troops burning their way
through Atlanta, and plundering every acre in their path,
Jeremiah fears for the future of the South—as well as
the future of his family on both sides of the conflict.
