Breakthrough Civil War novel

Oh good, a new Civil War novel.

The reviewer says, "Historical novels don't shy away from blood and grime." The reviewer says that in this novel, "uplifting lessons are in short supply amid the gore and filth."

The author used "gore and filth" to attract his readers. He removes "uplifting lessons" to speed their reading.

How flattering to Civil War readers.
