PATTERSON : Rebels from West Point (fülszöveg)
Once they had been classmates, later brother officers in the United States Army. Now, in the spring of 1861, they would be enemies. West Point graduates all, their ranks and their allegiance would be split between North and South.
REBELS FROM WEST POINT tells the colorful, illuminating, often poignant story of those who chose the Stars and Bars over the Stars and Stripes. Bringing a unique mix of military know-how, élan, field leadership, and eccentricity (one of them had a male Apache companion with him wherever he went) to an outnumbered, outgunned, ragtag army, they molded it into a fighting force that held the North to a virtual standstill for nearly four years. But as their ranks thinned (by war's end nearly a quarter of them lay dead), so did the hopes of the Confederacy.
From the flamboyant J. E. B. Stuart and enigmatic "Stonewall" Jackson to the former Superintendent of West Point, Robert E. Lee, you'll meet a most unique group of men... and share their victories and defeats, both on and off the field of battle.
