From the Foreword by Ron Maxwell - director of the film Gods and Generals: 'As the pages of this anthology unfold, you will become acquainted more intimately with many of the characters in the film. The authors/editors have provided us with a closer look at these brave men and women as a companion piece to the movie. While the contributors of this inspiring book have expanded brilliantly on some of the characters appearing in the film, others are faces without names, and now they too will come alive on the pages of this book. Some of these gripping tales depict strength, the angst, and the faith of the women left behind who loved these brave men. A must-read for anyone... to further their study and increase their understanding of these important historical characters who helped shape the future of the generations who followed.'
