Never Call Retreat: Lee And Grant: The Final Victory (2007) - Plot & Excerpts

Exceptional! Many thanks to the author for such a wonderful story. Continuing from where the last novel left off. Ulysses S. Grant takes his newly formed command to face off Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. From here on in Newt Gingrich expands on what might have happened if the Confederacy had won what was originally the Union victory at Gettysburg.After the victory on the first day of Gettysburg becoming a withdraw leading to the overwhelming victory at Union Mills. Lee's army is stronger than it had ever been but its not invulnerable as it was sent to take on the defenses of Washington,DC and fail. Yet it claims the state of Maryland for the Confederacy causing the army to become well equipped than it had ever been to meet the Army of Potomac at Gunpowder Falls in another victory. But for every victory the Confederacy is wearing itself out. The victories are becoming Pyrrhic and with Ulysses S. Grant known for being the user of hammer tactics he brought to play against the Confederacy with Shiloh and Vicksburg in the West. He now brings to the East the same tactics.The new battles in this alternate history are vicious and as devastating as the battles in real history. The battle of Frederick is an amazing contest which begins believe it or not with a train wreck. Leading up to the epic conclusion at the Battle of Monacacy, which is fought sooner than it actually would have been and of far greater importance.The Civil War ends almost two years earlier than it would have, with just as much if not more honor and glory for the men who brought peace.I couldn't help but call this one of the best Civil War stories I've ever read. God Bless You Mr. Gingrich. A.

A review by Anthony T. Riggio of Never Call Retreat: Lee and Grant: The Final Victory I read all three in this series of "Alternative History" and found the first two fascinating reading and all three were page turners. The last, however left me with more issues that I could not resolve. The end result was as expected. Lee surrenders. I could accept all of the alternative presentations and battles but I could not accept George Armstrong Custer being killed in a battle. What will happen at the "Little Big Horn"?
