Gone For Soldiers
Trade cloth edition in very good condition. Dust jacket with intact price point. Full number line starting with 1. Mylar cover included.
“Now, when a man dies by your side, you don’t expect the man who replaces him to survive either, you don’t even want to learn his name.”
Jeff Shaara casts his eye on the proving ground of the Mexican War. Although it secured the Southwest for a nation emboldened by Manifest Destiny, this two-year conflict has nearly faded into oblivion, eclipsed by the Civil War a dozen years later. Shaara’s hallmarks—the deliberations of leaders and the brutal facts of battle—illuminate his engaging diversion into an oft-overlooked struggle in which men who would come to oppose one another fought under a single flag.
