Best Of Friends ~ By Alison James

The Civil War tested loyalties and turned friends into enemies. Officers from the Regular Army who had been brothers-in-arms found themselves generals, commanding opposing armies. Many of these friendships stretched back decades, to West Point and the Mexican War, where they had fought side-by-side with their fellow-officers Jackson, Grant & Lee.

Yet love and loyalty are not so simply given, nor taken-back. ‘Best of Friends’ tells the story of one such friendship, strong enough to outlast life itself ~ a story of honour, affection, decency... of lives briefly touching, or forever interwoven; of having to choose sides; of a woman, dearly loved; of the kindness of friends, and the shattering events of war.
