Synopsis

WHEN THIS CRUEL WAR IS OVER portrays two generations of Americans struggling to make sense of a national catastrophe in the face of a future that is shot through with darkness. The time is the summer of 1864, the third year of the Civil War that has already killed a half million Americans. The place is Indiana and Kentucky, divided by the Ohio River but joined by a growing fury at the Federal government's ruthless censorship and intolerance. Janet Todd is a courier and evangelist for the Sons of Liberty, the revolutionary conspiracy which intends to unite the American heartland into a Northwest Confederacy - and stop the war. Major Paul Stapleton commands a troop of cavalrymen who hunt Union deserters. Secretly disgusted with the war, Paul is torn between his love for Janet Todd and his oath of loyalty to the Union. It is history as only Thomas Fleming can write it, laced with suspense and searing human insight, rooted in deep research and even deeper human compassion.
