Part one of the #1 New York Times bestselling North and South Trilogy—the Civil War saga that inspired the classic television miniseries North and South—with over five million copies sold!
“An entertaining…authentic dramatization of American history.”—The New York Times
From master storyteller John Jakes comes the epic story of two families—the Hazards and the Mains. Separated by vastly different ways of life, joined by the unbreakable bonds of true friendship, and torn asunder by a country on the brink of a bloody conflict that will irrevocably change them all…
I cannot possibly express in words how much I enjoy John Jakes’ books. He just has an incredible talent for historical fiction, especially in the Civil War time period. I really liked this book, and I can’t wait to read the rest of the trilogy.
