House of Crimson Roses

Rugged, crisp, and moving, Chad Lester’s HOUSE OF CRIMSON ROSES weaves seamlessly between the societal collapse and the bloody battlefields of the American Civil War. The book’s greatest triumph, however, is telling the story of the war through the eyes of its marginalized survivors: the disillusioned draftees, discarded wives, and terrorized enslaved people of the Confederate home front, who must bear much of the cost for the folly of secession.
