Reviews for Battle Flag

[novak_13 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Battle Flag: A well written, fictive account of a phase in the American Civil War, an awful war made worse by religion and the fact that munitions had progressed faster in US than medical treatment. In this third book in a series of four covering this sad period, Bernard Cornwell demonstrates how nobody gained except those at the very top of the social ladder. A good read and a good insight into religious folly.

Book 3 of the Starbuck Chronicles, I felt that this work unpredictably shifted characters from antagonist to protagonist with little reason. Still a fun read, yet not as attention grabbing as 'Copperhead.'
