"What is often spoon-fed to our generation is an oversimplified, one-dimensional view of the conflict. But the war was much more complex and paradoxical than is being taught to society."

- Ron Maxwell, director of the movie, "Gods and Generals"

Personal diaries, heartfelt letters, quotes, and primary research come together to paint the lives and faith of these men and women who served on both sides of this tragic War. The well-known and not-so-well-known were more than battlefield or home front footnotes. On both sides of the conflict, the faith of these were tested and refined by fire.

The book is over 188 pages of insights into the hearts and minds of the common and extraordinary people whose lives were tossed together by a nation breaking apart.
Faith in God and Generals measures 10 x 8 inches and is not only an in-depth tool to study, but also an attractive coffee table book to display.
