Love and War

The bestselling saga that has sold more than 5 million copies.

The books that inspired the smash-hit television miniseries.

Beautifully repackaged for the Dutton hardcover release of On Secret Service—John Jakes's long-awaited return to the Civil War years...

Part Two Of Two Parts

The Hazards and the Mains -- the first fatal shot fired at Fort Sumter divided them irrevocably with loyalties more powerful than family ties. The young would clash on the bloody battlefields of Bull Run and Fredericksburg, while in intrigue-ridden Washington and Richmond strong-willed men and beautiful women would defend their principles with their lives...or satisfy illicit cravings with schemes that could destroy friends and enemies alike.

This surging drama is the second part of the trilogy that includes NORTH AND SOUTH and HEAVEN AND HELL.

"Craftsmanship nears artistry....A coherent and penetrating vision of the seamy underside of war." (Richmond Times-Dispatch)
