The #1 New York Times–bestselling first volume of the acclaimed and sweeping saga about a friendship threatened by the divisions of the Civil War. In the years leading up to the Civil War, one enduring friendship embodies the tensions of a nation. Orry Main from South Carolina and George Hazard from Pennsylvania forge a lasting bond while training at the United States Military Academy at West Point. Together they fight in the Mexican-American War, but their closeness is tested as their regional politics diverge. As the first rounds are fired at Fort Sumter, Orry and George find themselves on different sides of the coming struggle.

An entertaining [and] authentic dramatization of American history." —New York Times "A marvelous book . . . should become one of the great novels of American history." —Nashville Banner This ebook features an illustrated biography of John Jakes including rare images from the author's personal collection.
