From Jeff Shaara, The New York Times bestselling author of Gods and Generals and The Last Full Measure comes a tale of the men who helped to define the nation.

Thirteen years before the outbreak of the Civil War, many of the leaders on the opposite sides of that war, Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S. Grant, Longstreet, Jackson, Hancock, et al., travelled to Mexico to battle the wily and enigmatic Mexican General Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana. Told through the eyes of two very different men, Robert E. Lee and General Winfield Scott, Gone for Soldiers is not merely the story of the two-year struggle on unfamiliar soil. It is also the story of an untested engineer first experiencing the horrors of war and assuming a position as a leader of men.

Combining stirring battle scenes with the kind of penetrating psychological and strategic insight that made his two previous books New York Times bestsellers, Gone for Soldiers is sure to make its own place in history.

About the Author: Jeff Shaara divides his time between New York, Florida, and Montana. In his bestsellers, Gods and Generals and The Last Full Measure, he continued the Pulitzer Prize-Winning story begun by his father, Michael, in The Killing Angels.
