OK. Here's a tidbit. The militia plays a significant role, mostly as thugs and live targets.

The book has nothing to do with the circumstances of the Civil War. It has everything to do with an ambitious governor attempting to use a "states rights" issue to catapult him into the White House where [b]HE[/b] would become the leader of the very Federal Government he opposes at home.
No, it hasn't been made into a movie. The book was written in 1996 and only published in the last week or so. Read the book before you get carried away and try to hijack the topic to feed your frustrations over the outcome of a futile war that ended 137 years ago. |

[sarcasm]It's more fun to flame away than to read what's been posted, more fun to hijack a thread than to start one's own.[/sarcasm] I'll give it a try. The book I mean. |

It's really a good book, typical of Coyle's past work, and involving The family of his main character from some of his earlier works, General Scott Dixon and his immediate family, as well as one of the survivors of the previous books, LTCOL Nancy Kozak. The focus is primarily on the military response to the political conflict from both sides and as a result, may tend to have more meaning for current and former military than those who see things from the "states rights" or militia viewpoint.
It's not a "The South Will Rise Again" kinda thing. The action takes place in Idaho. |

Ok, well then it sounds kind of like an abuse of states rights by an Arkansas(oooops Idaho) governor. Sorry, had to throw that one in there. The book description on amazon.com sounds great.

I picked up a couple of Harold Coyle novels to read over the July 4 holiday. This one is an interesting read so far.
"God's Children" was good too-it's a pretty detailed account of a fictional confrontation between a couple of squads of american infantry (working as "peacekeepers") and some Czech ( I think) armor and mechanized infantry units. |
