Description
LEE STRIKES BACK!
After a terrible setback at Gettysburg, General Robert
E. Lee does not retreat across the Potomac and his ultimate surrender at
Appomattox. Instead, he turns the tables on Union General George Meade with a
vicious counterattack that sets the Union Army on its heels.
While Lee sets
across Pennsylvania in a dazzling war of maneuver, a crazed actor closes in on
President Abraham Lincoln. Standing in his way is Major Steve Thorne, a
thoughtful lawyer-turned-soldier fighting for the Union and his own
self-respect, and Cassandra Baird, a young woman whose courage is only surpassed
by her determination to teach emancipated slaves to read and write, and so
ensure their freedom.
Opposing them is Colonel Corey Wade, a brave
Confederate officer who is just as determined to fight to the death for his
honor and that of his state. And, in the end, the fate of a nation may come down
to a freed slave named Hadrian, a man with an iron resolve never to return to
bondage.
The time has come to strike a blow for liberty-or go down
swinging!
