Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From Jeff Shaara comes the riveting final installment in the Civil War series that began with A Blaze of Glory and continued in A Chain of Thunder and The Smoke at Dawn . November 1864: As the Civil War rolls into its fourth bloody year, the tide has turned decidedly in favor of the Union. A grateful Abraham Lincoln responds to Ulysses S. Grant's successes by bringing the general east, promoting Grant to command the entire Union war effort, while William Tecumseh Sherman now directs the Federal forces that occupy all of Tennessee. In a massive surge southward, Sherman conquers the city of Atlanta, sweeping aside the Confederate army under the inept leadership of General John Bell Hood. Pushing through northern Georgia, Sherman's legendary March to the Sea shoves away any Rebel presence, and by Christmas 1864 the city of Savannah falls into the hands of "Uncle Billy." Now there is but one direction for Sherman to go. In his way stands the last great hope for the Southern cause, General Joseph E. Johnston. In the concluding novel of his epic Civil War tetralogy, Jeff Shaara tells the dramatic story of the final eight months of battle from multiple perspectives: the commanders in their tents making plans for total victory, as well as the ordinary foot soldiers and cavalrymen who carried out their orders until the last alarum sounded. Through Sherman's eyes, we gain insight into the mind of the general who vowed to "make Georgia howl" until it surrendered. In Johnston, we see a man agonizing over the limits of his army's power, and accepting the burden of leading the last desperate effort to ensure the survival of the Confederacy. The Civil War did not end quietly. It climaxed in a storm of fury that lay waste to everything in its path. The Fateful Lightning brings to life those final brutal, bloody months of fighting with you-are-there immediacy, grounded in the meticulous research that readers have come to expect from Jeff Shaara.

Seller feedback (11,953)
- s***r (190)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThis was a very hard to find (at a reasonable price) item, so it made me happy to find on ebay with a seller who made the purchase effortless! Shipped the same day and arrived in packaging that proved the seller cared a lot about ensuring it was safe. There was no variation from the description - it was exactly what I wanted!
- n***y (33)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBooks arrive as described and in a timely fashion. Would have wanted slightly better packaging given it was three books together being transported internationally (bubble wrap, a slightly bigger box, etc) but transaction was smooth.
- b***n (290)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseAs described, fast shipping couldve used some cardboard to keep soft cover book sturdy from bending or beating up corners only because sometimes postage handling can be rough but it shipped fine and didn't get roughed up in the mail so item was uneffected, the item still came in good condition bubble envelope. Everything was great! Thank you!
