Summary
This is the Civil War as seen through the eyes of six young West Point graduates: George Armstrong Custer, Stephen Dodson Ramsuer, Henry Algernon du Pont, John Pelham, Thomas Lafayette Rosser, and Wesley Merritt. At the military academy they forged bonds stronger than brotherhood, but a few short years later had to choose between blue and gray, even facing each other on opposite sides of battlefields.
