July 1864. Union officer Nathan Parker has been imprisoned at nightmarish Andersonville prison camp in Georgia along with his soldiers. As others die around them, Nathan and his men hatch a daring plan to allow him to escape through a tunnel and make his way to Vicksburg, where he alerts his superiors and pushes for military action. His efforts are blocked by higher-ups in the military, so Parker organizes a private rescue mission with the help of Marcel Lafarge, a shady, dangerous ex-soldier and smuggler. "Escape from Andersonville" is an exciting, thoroughly researched Civil War novel filled with action, memorable characters, and vividly realized descriptions of the war's last year.
