Product Information

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Jeff Shaara returns to the Civil War terrain he knows so well, with the latest novel in the series that started with A Blaze of Glory and A Chain of Thunder . In The Smoke at Dawn , the last great push of the Army of the Cumberland sets the stage for a decisive confrontation at Chattanooga that could determine the outcome of the war. Summer, 1863. The Federal triumph at Vicksburg has secured complete control of the Mississippi River from the Confederacy, cementing the reputation of Ulysses S. Grant. Farther east, the Federal army under the command of William Rosecrans captures the crucial rail hub at Chattanooga. But Rosecrans is careless, and while pursuing the Confederates, the Federal forces are routed in north Georgia at Chickamauga Creek. Retreating in a panic back to Chattanooga, Rosecrans is pursued by the Confederate forces under General Braxton Bragg. Penned up, with their supply lines severed, the Federal army seems doomed to the same kind of defeat that plagued the Confederates at Vicksburg. But a disgusted Abraham Lincoln has seen enough of General Rosecrans. Ulysses Grant is elevated to command of the entire theater of the war, and immediately replaces Rosecrans with General George Thomas. Grant gathers an enormous force, including armies commanded by Joseph Hooker and Grant's friend, William T. Sherman. Grant's mission is clear: Break the Confederate siege and destroy Bragg's army. Meanwhile, Bragg wages war as much with his own subordinates as he does with the Federals, creating dissension and disharmony in the Southern ranks, erasing the Confederate army's superiority at exactly the wrong time. Blending evocative historical detail with searing depictions of battle, Jeff Shaara immerses readers in the world of commanders and common soldiers, civilians and statesmen. From the Union side come the voices of Generals Grant, William Tecumseh Sherman, and George Thomas--the vaunted "Rock of Chickamauga"--as well as the young private Fritz "Dutchie" Bauer. From the Rebel ranks come Generals Bragg, Patrick Cleburne, and James Longstreet, as well as the legendary cavalry commander, Nathan Bedford Forrest. A tale of history played out on a human scale in the grand Shaara tradition, The Smoke at Dawn vividly recreates the climactic months of the war in the West, when the fate of a divided nation truly hangs in the balance. Praise for The Smoke at Dawn "Civil War history fiends will be riveted." --Parade "A beautifully written novel . . . Shaara once again elevates history from mere rote fact to explosive and engaging drama." --Bookreporter "Shaara's mastery of military tactics, his intimate grasp of history, and his ability to interweave several supporting narratives into a cohesive and digestible whole . . . will appeal to a broad range of historical- and military-fiction fans." -- Booklist "Top-notch . . . As with the best historical war novels, knowing the ultimate outcome of the bitter fighting is not a bar to engagement." -- Publishers Weekly

Reviews

"Civil War history fiends will be riveted." --Parade " The Smoke at Dawn is a beautifully written novel about a battle usually ignored. The historical details and the personal examinations fuse perfectly--with the raw power of the battle meshed hand-in-hand with the inner struggle of the men who determine the fates of others and of nations. Shaara once again elevates history from mere rote fact to explosive and engaging drama." -- Bookreporter "Shaara's mastery of military tactics, his intimate grasp of history, and his ability to interweave several supporting narratives into a cohesive and digestible whole as he revisits a catastrophic period in U.S. history will appeal to a broad range of historical- and military-fiction fans." -- Booklist "Top-notch . . . As with the best historical war novels, knowing the ultimate outcome of the bitter fighting is not a bar to engagement." -- Publishers Weekly "Blending historical detail with vivid depictions of battle, Jeff Shaara immerses readers in the world of commanders and common soldiers, civilians and statesmen. . . . The Smoke at Dawn vividly recreates the climactic months of the war in the West, when the fate of a divided nation truly hangs in the balance." -- Huntington News, Praise for Jeff Shaara's new Civil War series A Blaze of Glory "Brilliant . . . riveting . . . a work to be embraced." -- Bookreporter "[An] exciting read . . . This novel is meticulously researched and brings a vivid reality to the historical events depicted." -- Library Journal "Dynamic portrayals [of] Johnston, Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman." --The Wall Street Journal A Chain of Thunder "[A] riveting fictional narrative." -- Booklist "Shaara continues to draw powerful novels from the bloody history of the Civil War. . . . [He] aptly reveals the main actors: Grant, stoic, driven, not given to micromanagement; Sherman, anxious, high-strung, engaged even when doubting Grant's strategy. . . . Worth a Civil War buff's attention." --Kirkus Reviews "Shaara's historical accuracy is faultless, and he tells a good story. . . . The voices of these people come across to the reader as poignantly clear as they did 150 years ago." --Historical Novels Review

Voices from the past: They are interesting, they are intimate and they are worth listening to.
The Smoke at Dawn is the third volume in a series that tells the story of the Civil War in the "West." (West being the areas West of the Appalachian mountains.) From the first two volumes, A Blaze of Glory dealt with the 1862 campaign at Shiloh. A Chain of Thunder describes the summer of 1863 and the siege of Vicksburg. The Smoke at Dawn carries the reader into the Fall of 1863 as the campaign around Chattanooga develops. Major General William Starke Rosecrans had risen through the ranks under Gen McClellan and is given command of the Army of the Cumberland responsible for an area that includes eastern Tennessee and parts of Alabama and Mississippi. His adversary is Confederate Lieutenant General Braxton Bragg, a strong-willed disciplinarian who has turned his troops into an effective ... The Smoke at Dawn is the third volume in a series that tells the story of the Civil War in the "West." (West being the areas West of the Appalachian mountains.) From the first two volumes, A Blaze of Glory dealt with the 1862 campaign at Shiloh. A Chain of Thunder describes the summer of 1863 and the siege of Vicksburg. The Smoke at Dawn carries the reader into the Fall of 1863 as the campaign around Chattanooga develops. Major General William Starke Rosecrans had risen through the ranks under Gen McClellan and is given command of the Army of the Cumberland responsible for an area that includes eastern Tennessee and parts of Alabama and Mississippi. His adversary is Confederate Lieutenant General Braxton Bragg, a strong-willed disciplinarian who has turned his troops into an effective fighting force, fearful of no one. Rosecrans, a better academician/engineer than a field commander, outmaneuvers Bragg, getting him to abandon Chattanooga, a crossroads for four major railroads for the South. Bragg flees into Georgia with Rosecrans in hot pursuit. When Rosecrans splits up his force into three arms to try to trap Bragg, Bragg turns his forces back on Rosecrans and his weakened field force. Rosecrans' position is then routed by Longstreet at Chickamauga and Rosecrans flees back to Chattanooga, where he is quickly surrounded by Bragg and is cut off from his Federal supply lines. Lincoln, disappointed by Rosecrans' predicament, promotes Gen Grant to theater commander who then replaces Rosecrans with Gen George Thomas, the man who covered Rosecrans' disorganized retreat from Chickamauga. Grant then assembles a large force including the armies led by Joe Hooker and Wm T Sherman with the command to free Chattanooga and to destroy Bragg's army. Union troops, now strongly reinforced, return to Chattanooga to drive Bragg and the Army of Tennessee away from their positions surrounding the city, permanently securing the North's control of the state of Tennessee. Chattanooga's railhead now becomes the major supply and logistics base for both the continuing support for the occupying Army of the Cumberland and for launching Sherman's Atlanta campaign in the Spring of 1864. This tale is told through several voices: Generals Grant, Wm T. Sherman and George Thomas, the vaunted “Rock of Chickamauga”, as well as the private Fritz “Dutchie” Bauer, now familiar from previous stories, on the Union side, and those of Generals Bragg, Patrick Cleburne and James Longstreet, as well as the legendary cavalry commander Nathan Bedford Forrest for the Confederacy. We get immersed in the world of the commanders, their infighting and insubordinations, and of the common soldiers, the misery and monotony of their daily lives—endless drill, poor food or none at all; dirty, tattered uniforms filthy with lice; bad weather, bad water; countless flies, chiggers, ticks, mosquitoes and scorpions; illnesses; interminable marches with too little rest, and so on. Shaara's voices come from the well-researched letters, documents, memoirs and diaries from those who survived the events and lived to tell the tale. Their fears, their angst, their musings and their wonderments touch readers where the cold facts of history books do not. Whether history is made live for the reader or made soap opera depends upon the reader at the time of their reading, but either way, the reader gets to hear from voices from the past as those voices share how they saw and/or made these events occur. That is time worth sharing. It is intimate, it is interesting and it is worthwhile...
