Now more than ever it is necessary to speak about the US Civil War. Join Michele McAloon in a discussion with J. Geoffrey Barber, author of Three Rogues in Gettysburg., published by Milford House, an imprint of Sunbury Press. Mr. Barber has written a wonderful historical novel set in the aftermath of the Battle of Gettysburg. His detailed narrative brings to life the true difficulties and the conflicting emotions and realities of people caught in historical events. The complexity of the characters Mr. Barber has created reminds us, in an entertaining way, there is still much to learn about our nation and ourselves in studying the complex history of the Civil War. Highly recommend this book for a book club reading or even a young adult classroom. You can follow Michele on Twitter Michelem@MicheleMcAloon1.
