Praise for Ralph Peters' Battle Hymn Cycle "If Thucydides and Tolstoy together were commissioned to write a historical novel about the American Civil War, the result would be something like Ralph Peters' The Damned of Petersburg . Combining unflinching Thucydidean realism about warfare with Tolstoyan empathy for humanity, Peters recreates the bloody Petersburg campaign through the eyes and in the words of the men who lived and died during it. Anyone who wants to understand why the Civil War is the defining event in American history should read this deeply researched and beautifully written epic." --Guy MacLean Rogers, Kenan Professor of Classics and History, Wellesley College. Author of Alexander: The Ambiguity of Greatness "No one can come close to Peters' unique combination of passion and pride and tragedy. I predict that The Damned of Petersburg will be a classic that people will read for the next fifty years." --Thomas Fleming, author of The Secret Trial of Robert E. Lee "A must-read for Civil War novice and aficionado alike. " --John Horn, author of The Siege of Petersburg , on The Damned of Petersburg "[Peters's] empathy and insight have never been more powerfully expressed. Valley of the Shadow is a blazing masterpiece." --W.E.B. Griffin, New York Times bestselling author "A superlative novel." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review, on Valley of the Shadow "A gripping novel as historically accurate as it is enthralling." --Victor Davis Hanson, author of Carnage and Culture , on Valley of the Shadow "Ralph Peters once again superbly demonstrates his complete mastery of the craft of writing historical fiction . . . [a] meticulously researched, wonderfully written and compellingly presented account of one of the war's most significant campaigns." -- Armchair General Magazine "One of the great Civil War novels of our time . . . superbly researched and brought to life . . . [Be] prepared to risk not being able to put it down." -- Booklist , starred review, on Hell or Richmond "A classic for the ages, a supremely truthful look at the horrors of war and a battle that shaped who we became as a people. A bookshelf treasure... a masterpiece." -- New York Journal of Books on Cain at Gettysburg "Explores a totally new and different ground-level view of the battle from the perspective of the 'grunts' in the field. Peters provides incomparable insights into soldiers facing battle and the personal impact of war on its combatants . . . highly recommended . . . it will keep you enthralled." -- Civil War News on Cain at Gettysburg, "The final volume of Ralph Peters' series on the epic story of the Army of the Potomac and Army of Northern Virginia from Gettysburg to Appomattox lives up to the standard of high drama of its predecessors. Here is fiction firmly rooted in historical sources, dialogue that reflects the genuine vernacular, personalities true to the characters they portray. If you thought you knew the Civil War, read these books to discover how much you still had to learn." --James McPherson, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Battle Cry of Freedom "Ralph Peters makes history come alive. His vivid prose captures the burdens of command, the horrors and exhilarations of combat, the hopes and fears of the soldiers--all with deep respect for historical accuracy. Grant and Lee, Meade and Longstreet, Sheridan and Gordon, and so many other historical figures emerge from these pages as living, breathing human beings, teeming with the range of motives and emotions that mark the human condition." --Richard J. Sommers, author of Richmond Redeemed: The Siege of Petersburg "Ralph Peters makes you see, taste, smell and hear battle and brings to vivid life the long-dead warriors who fought the Civil War. His award-winning Civil War series is fascinating reading." --Stephen Coonts, New York Times bestselling author of The Art of War "Ralph Peters brings to life the dramatic story of the largely overlooked--yet most significant--campaign of the Civil War. The reader becomes part of the armies, from Fort Stedman to Lee's surrender. Another riveting narrative by this prolific author." --Patrick A. Schroeder, Historian, Appomattox Court House National Historical Park "Once again a master of historical military fiction has made real the sound and fury of the Civil War." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "Superlative . . . [Peters] excels at bringing well-known historical characters to life [and] captures the harsh realities of common soldiers caught in the crossfire of horrific historical circumstances . . . a master martial historian. An absolute must-read for Civil War buffs." -- Booklist "For those who want to truly understand what the war was like for the men who fought and endured it, there is no better reference than Ralph Peters' five Civil War novels . . . superbly researched, richly imagined, brilliantly written." -- America's Civil War "Epic . . . battles explode from Ralph Peters' pen . . . with his five-novel masterwork--from Gettysburg to Appomattox--Peters has become one of our most important historians." -- Washington Times, A superlative novel." - Kirkus Reviews , starred review, on Valley of the Shadow [Peters's] empathy and insight have never been more powerfully expressed.

Synopsis
The ferocious final weeks of the Civil War come alive in Judgment at Appomattox, the final novel of New York Times bestselling author Ralph Peters's breathtaking, Boyd Award-winning series A great war nears its end. Robert E. Lee makes a desperate, dramatic gamble. It fails. Ulysses S. Grant moves. Veteran armies clash around Petersburg, Virginia, as Grant seeks to surround Lee and Lee makes a skillful withdrawal in the night. Richmond falls. Each day brings new combat and more casualties, as Lee's exhausted, hungry troops race to preserve the Confederacy. But Grant does not intend to let Lee escape... In one of the most thrilling episodes in American history, heroes North and South, John Brown Gordon and Phillip Sheridan, James Longstreet and Francis Channing Barlow, battle each other across southern Virginia as the armies converge on a sleepy country court house. Written with the literary flair and historical accuracy readers expect from Ralph Peters, Judgment at Appomattox takes us through the Civil War's last grim interludes of combat as flags fall and hearts break. Capping the author's acclaimed five-novel cycle on the war in the East, this "dramatized history" pays homage to all the soldiers who fought, from an Irish-immigrant private wearing gray, to the "boy generals" who mastered modern war. This is a grand climax to a great, prize-winning series that honors--and reveals--America's past.
