Military drummers have played a crucial role in warfare throughout history. Soldiers marched to battle to the sound of the drums and used the beat to regulate the loading and re-loading of their weapons during the battle. Drummers were also used to raise morale during the fight. This is the first work to chart the rise of drums in military use and how they came to be used on the battlefield as a means of signalling. This use was to last for almost 4,000 years when modern warfare with communications rendered them obsolete. Even so, drummers continued to serve in the armies of the world and performed many acts of heroism as the served as stretcher bearers to rescue the wounded from the battlefield. From ancient China, Egypt and the Mongol hordes of Genghis Khan the drum was used on the battlefield. The 12th century Crusaders helped re-introduce the drum to Europe and during the Napoleonic Wars of the 18th and 19th centuries the drum was to be heard resonating across Europe. Drummers had to flog their comrades and beat their drums on drill parade. Today they are ceremonial but this work tells how they had to face enemies across the battlefield with only their drum.

With the eye of a novelist and the rigor of a historian, New York Times bestselling author Thomas Fleming delivers a fascinating and vivid account of the Siege of Yorktown. Along with French General Jean-Baptiste Rochambeau, George Washington made an astonishing march through New Jersey and trapped British General Charles Cornwallis and his forces in Yorktown, Virginia, where they unleashed a tremendous artillery assault, with the support of the French navy. But victory was never certain - both sides made a series of dramatic attacks and counterattacks. Using the diaries and letters of participants in the siege, Fleming creates a moving and exciting depiction of the days in October 1781 that ended the American Revolution and changed the world.

In the turbulent decade which produced the Canadian Confederation of 1867, a group of seasoned veterans of the American Civil War turned their attention to the conquest of Canada. They were Irish-American revolutionaries — unique because they fought under their own flag. They were know as the Fenians and they believed that the first step on the road to the liberation of Ireland was to invade Canada. The Last Invasion of Canada vividly recaptures the drama of the decade. It recounts the fledgling nation’s rag-tag, but patriotic, defence against an enemy committed to a glorious cause, but with only scattered resources. It is a story of courage, espionage and petty crime, and of mismatched motivations and goals.

Inspired by true events and based on the recorded history of one southern family's struggles and endurance in the Civil War. "No one's going to take Quesinberry land." With those words eighteen year old Oliver Quesinberry joins the Civil War. Leaving his young wife Mahala, his infant son, and family farm to do what he believes is his duty to preserve their land from Northern aggressors. A powerful story of how war forces a boy, a family and a country to question long held beliefs and endure tremendous loss. At the family home, his parents Abigail and Andrew struggle to keep the farm going, caring for five young children, as their grown sons all enlist. Abigail, a strong resourceful woman, the best horsewoman in the area, is determined not to let the war overwhelm her, or her family. When Andrew joins the war effort in the last year, Abigail is left alone to hold the family together. Proving her toughness of spirit and tenacity, she overcomes heartbreak and fear to emerge as the backbone of the family. In September of 1861, at the age of eighteen, Oliver Quesinberry follows his older brothers Isaac and Asa into the Civil War. Volunteering against the wishes of his wife and his parents, he leaves the farm near Hillsville, Virginia that has been in the family for over a hundred years. Confident the war will over within months, he departs with the conviction the Southern Cause is just and the war will be short-lived. Oliver is assigned the position of drummer for 29th Virginia regiment. As the war continues he comes under the command of General James Longstreet, whom General Lee called his "Old War Horse" and later General George Pickett. He is there for the infamous assault by Confederate troops at the center of the Union's lines at Gettysburg, known as "Pickett's Charge." We follow Oliver's regiment from it's inception, to the retreat at Gettysburg, to Cold Harbor and Petersburg, as he becomes disillusioned and struggles to come to terms with the reality and brutality of the war. A family saga which takes the Quesinberry family through the beginning of the Civil War in 1861 to it's conclusion with Lee's surrender at Appomattox in 1865.
