This is audiobook III in the Duty, Honor, Country Trilogy.
They swore oaths, both personal and professional. They were fighting for country, for a way of life and for family. Classmates carried more than rifles and sabers into battle. They had friendships, memories, children and wives. They had innocence lost, promises broken and glory found.
Duty, Honor, Country is history told both epic and personal so we can understand what happened, but more importantly feel the heart-wrenching clash of duty, honor, country and loyalty. And realize that sometimes, the people who changed history weren't recorded by it. In the vein of HBO's Rome miniseries, two fictional characters, Rumble and Cord are standing at many of the major crossroads of our history.
We start with Mark Twain in Confederate grey, waiting for a Colonel of the Illinois militia, U.S. Grant in Florida, Missouri. From West Point, to Washington DC, through First Bull Run, the Monitor battling the Merrimac, to Grant's initial successes at Forts Henry and Donelson.
We end on the precipice of failure as Grant's army is routed on the first day of the battle of Shiloh and sit in the rain, under an oak treat, contemplating retreat.

Don't start in the middle of the series; the back-story of the characters will be needed. Civil War books are full of details on the great campaigns in the East and Shiloh usually gets a paragraph or two, just the facts ma'am, with Forts Henry and Donelson being treated as isolated anecdotes worth maybe a sentence or two. This book goes a good way towards resetting that balance, with a good proportion of this book devoted to that campaign and bringing it to life, and, since it leaves the battle at half-time, it will get some more space in the next volume too. The editing is much cleaner in this volume, too. Bravo.Product details

Country Duty Honor Country Book 3 (Audible Audio Edition) Bob Mayer Steven Cooper Robert J Mayer Books Reviews
History light but not bad, it moves along very well and reads easily. I'll finish the series when the last book comes out.
"War is Hell." Mayer hits the nail on the head and forms it into a very enjoyable read.
Again, tracks history pretty well.
An excellent end to an outstanding trilogy. A good mix of fictional character with history. Can't wait for next set of books
I always like Bob's writing and after so much of his military fiction I was interested in seeing how he treated this topic. I really enjoyed the personalities he has given to Grant and Sherman as well as his added story characters. My only issue was that the next installment wasn't available yet.
Bob Mayer brings alive history in an interesting, highly relevant way that the reader is there in the lines beside the main characters. Some writers are unable to escape formulas of writing, especially describing characters, that lend the reader to believe this is a comic book account. When Mayer writes, the reader believes his authenticity and realism. Mayer is on a par with Nelson DeMille. Both are excellent.
Having just finished the three book set, I can't wait for the next iteration! Bob does a wonderful job of blending the personalities of the fictional characters with the historical figures of the period, of whom Sam Grant was the most intriguing. The language and flow of the intertwined stories remind me of "Lonesome Dove" (which Bob would probably consider flattering).
Don't start in the middle of the series; the back-story of the characters will be needed. Civil War books are full of details on the great campaigns in the East and Shiloh usually gets a paragraph or two, just the facts ma'am, with Forts Henry and Donelson being treated as isolated anecdotes worth maybe a sentence or two. This book goes a good way towards resetting that balance, with a good proportion of this book devoted to that campaign and bringing it to life, and, since it leaves the battle at half-time, it will get some more space in the next volume too.
