Twenty five members of that group recognized that they shared a special bond, and called themselves the Original Twenty Five. Now it is May of 1864. The war that would be over soon is now in its fourth year, and the Original Twenty Five is now down to twelve. They are moving South yet again, under a new commander with a new strategy for finally ending this endless war. But to end the war, these surviving friends must endure a forty-day orgy of slaughter that History's greatest butchers could not have conceived--and nine endless months of a new type of warfare that carries with it mind-numbing boredom, the constant threat of sudden death, their all-consuming fears and dreams--and the madness growing within them all . . . An epic in the oldest, truest sense of the word, this is an unflinching look at outward butchery and inward suffering--and the hard-won compassion that sustains, even in defeat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Jeffrey Paul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1493695827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781493695829\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/13\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.35d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2014","brand":"James Jeffrey Paul","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48458864853247,"sku":"9781493695829","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7f7257a9-6a78-41cf-b313-cdda2d33f638.jpg?v=1777407090","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/forty-days-and-nine-months-james-jeffrey-paul-9781493695829","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
