Light foxing on book block. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the blood-soaked fields of Virginia, where glory and survival are separated by a single rifle shot, Thomas Keneally's Confederates immerses the reader in the brutal reality of the American Civil War through the eyes of ordinary soldiers fighting for the Confederate cause. Set during Stonewall Jackson's legendary 1862 Shenandoah Valley Campaign, the novel chronicles the harrowing march of a ragged Confederate regiment, weaving together the stories of farmers-turned-soldiers, a disillusioned Yankee woman spy, and the iron-willed commanders who drive men beyond the limits of human endurance — all converging toward the catastrophic Battle of Antietam.\n\nKeneally, the Booker Prize-winning Australian author best known for Schindler's Ark, brings an outsider's unflinching clarity to America's most devastating conflict, stripping away romantic mythology to present war as an intimate, visceral, and morally complex experience. His prose is spare yet devastating, capturing both the absurdity of military life and the profound bonds forged under fire. Confederates stands as a remarkable feat of historical imagination — one that leaves the reader questioning not just the causes of war, but the very nature of loyalty, courage, and what it means to fight for a cause one may not fully believe in.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49219869409499,"sku":"2026100009259-SECONDHAND","price":100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/131461ed-ce8f-4039-bbe4-af13afb691b4.png?v=1788482963","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009259-secondhand-confederates-a-novel-signed","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
