{"product_id":"cross-over-the-river-bruce-weir-benidt-9780595317561","title":"Cross Over the River: Lives of Stonewall Jackson","description":"When Stonewall Jackson was killed by friendly fire at the height of his greatest victory in 1863, the course of the Civil War and American history was changed. \u003ci\u003eCross Over The River\u003c\/i\u003e, a carefully researched novel, paints a passionate and realistic portrait of the Civil War's most enigmatic and daring general. In private a quiet, loving man, Jackson was a stern Old Testament warrior who took breathtaking chances against terrible odds. He feinted and hid his army, struck like lightning at the Union flank or rear, hammered larger armies, bedeviled Lincoln and lifted Southern morale. His men thought he was crazy, complained boisterously about him, and followed him loyally into the hottest fire of the war. \u003cp\u003e \"As historical fiction, Bruce Benidt's \u003ci\u003eCross Over the River\u003c\/i\u003e stands beside Jeffrey Shaara's \u003ci\u003eGods and Generals.\u003c\/i\u003e Indeed, if they saw Ted Turner's adaptation of \u003ci\u003eGods and Generals, \u003c\/i\u003e many readers of \u003ci\u003eCross Over the River\u003c\/i\u003e will come away thinking that it would make for a more entertaining movie. A must read for those interested in a slightly fictionalized account of the Civil War career of \"Stonewall\" Jackson.\"--Professor Lawrence Lee Hewitt (Ret.), Southeastern Louisiana University, author of \u003ci\u003ePort Hudson, Confederate Bastion on the Mississippi.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Weir Benidt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0595317561\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595317561\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.22w x 1.03d","brand":"Bruce Weir Benidt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443555709183,"sku":"9780595317561","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c08c9bcf-95da-44ff-b7bb-561b3b7a6bbd.jpg?v=1777206264","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cross-over-the-river-bruce-weir-benidt-9780595317561","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
