Product Description
'August 1862, Colonel Arthur Rutland, Royal Artillery, is sent to America as a military attaché for the British Government to observe the Northern Union Army in action. Against instructions, and his own intentions, he becomes involved in the battles of Antietam, Fredericksburg and inevitably Gettysburg. In his travels he meets the legendary Civil War characters of Lt Col Lawrence Chamberlain of the 20th Maine, plus the eccentric English Colonel Sir Percy Wyndham of the first New Jersey Cavalry, while being accepted by the gunners of L Battery 1st New York Light Artillery This is an American Civil War story that shows the depth of feeling between both of the sides from the perspective of a professional British Army officer who becomes an accidental participant in this incredible conflict.

Rutland's Blues & Greys,
By
This review is from: Rutland's Blues and Greys: A Year of the American Civil War (Paperback)
Very good read, bringing out all aspects of war. Expert blending of historical characters and events with the fictional characters. With internet maps of the Civil War open, it was possible to follow Rutland around the battlefields. Looking forward to the next Rutland book.

Rutland's Blues & Greys,
By Fizzy Willie "Ridders" (Northumberland, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rutland's Blues and Greys: A Year of the American Civil War (Paperback)
Having read the previous three Rutland books I have been looking forward to the latest adventure. I was not disappointed, although perhaps this was my least favourite. However, I received the book in the midday post and had finished it by 6pm the same day!! It was a good read and an interesting insight into certain aspects of the American Civil War. I hope the author has plans for another adventure for the Rutland family.

Excitement and compassion in the American Civil War.,
By Barnaby (Surrey UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rutland's Blues and Greys: A Year of the American Civil War (Paperback)
I think that this new story in the 'Rutland Saga' is the best so far. It is a step back in time for Arthur Rutland to August 1862, and he is sent to America as a military attaché for the British Government to observe the Northern Union Army in action. Against instructions, and his own intentions, he becomes involved in the battles of Antietam, Fredericksburg and inevitably Gettysburg. In his travels he meets the legendary Civil War characters of Lt Col Lawrence Chamberlain of the 20th Maine, plus the eccentric English Colonel Sir Percy Wyndham of the first New Jersey Cavalry, while being accepted by the gunners of L Battery 1st New York Light Artillery This is an American Civil War story that shows the depth of feeling between both of the sides from the perspective of a professional British Army officer who becomes an accidental participant in this incredible conflict.
An excellent read and hard to put down - always the sign of a good book
