Third volume in the Starbuck Chronicles.
"It is the summer of 1862. Captain Nathaniel Starbuck has survived the early battles of the Civil War and the desperate struggle to defend Richmond, but he still has a long way to go before he can feel secure.
Not only does Starbuck's northern breeding make him an object of suspicion to many of his comrades in the southern cause that has adopted, but his well-known opposition to the private regiment's founder, General Washington Faulconer, puts him firmly on one side of an increasingly apparent rift in the Legion.
Starbuck' receives unexpected support from Colonel Swynard, a drunkard who is born again in the aftermath of battle and who embraces his new faith with all the passion he formerly reserved for the bottle.
But when Washington Faulconer attempts to discipline his opponents, he sets in train a tragic defensive lapse which sees not only loss of life, but also the loss of the Legion's colours.
Urged on by the preaching zeal of Nathaniel's father, the Reverend Elial Starbuck, the northern forces are gaining the upper hand, and when Stonewall Jackson orders his Corps - which includes the divided Legion - to stand and fight, Nate Starbuck, his friends and his enemies are staring death in the face. "
A superb story of courage, cowardice and treachery, and comradeship, Battle Flag is the third volume in Bernard Cornwell's Starbuck Chronicles. His ability to set the story of one man against the great sweep and strategy of war, and to describe the horror of a black-powder battle makes Cornwell unrivalled among historical novelists.
