Description
A fascinating tale of bravery in the Civil War - Retold by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Musician, linguist, college professor, farmer, husband, and father - Joshua Chamberlain was a Renaissance man living a full and satisfying life in rural Maine when the Civil War broke out. Inspired by his conviction that our young country should stay united, Chamberlain volunteered to join the Union army.
He quickly proved himself to be a brilliant strategist and great leader of men, who never hesitated to fight every battle on the front line. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. tells the fascinating and dramatic story of Chamberlain's life, focusing on his extraordinary bravery and inspiring leadership during some of the bloodiest and most decisive battles of the Civil War.
