With To Make Men Free, New York Times best-selling writers Newt Gingrich and William R. Forstchen take listeners to the guts of a almost forgotten Civil Conflict confrontation, a challenge that was filled up with controversy and misinterpretation even before the attack began. Drawing on years of research, the writers weave a intricate narrative interweaving the high dreams of BLACK troops eager to confirm themselves in challenge and the stress and anxiety of a leader who knows the country cannot carry another major beat. June 1864: the Civil Conflict is currently into its fourth season of bloody conflict with no end in look. The armies of the North are stalled in fetid trenches beyond Richmond and Atlanta, and the reelection of Abraham Lincoln to another term seems doomed to beat - a beat that will tripped the call for an end to the conflict, dismembering the Union and continuing slavery. Only one band of volunteers for the Union cause continues to be eager for challenge. Almost 200,000 men of color have swarmed the recruiting channels and are being mobilized into regiments known as the USCTs, the United States Colored Troops. Basic Ambrose Burnside, a hard-luck commander out of favour with his superiors, is one of the few generals eager to bring a section of the new soldiers into his rates. He comes with an ingenious plan to break Fort Pegram, the closest point on the Confederate range, defending Petersburg - the previous defense of Richmond - by tunneling onward from the Union position beneath the fort to explode its defenses. Burnside needs the USCTs for one desperate hurry that might just bring victory. The potential risks are high. Will Burnside be permitted to move forward or will interference from on high doom his plan to failure? The battleground episode unfolds through the eyes of Adam Reilly - famed artist, correspondent, and good friend of Lincoln, who have been utilized by the leader to be his eyes and ears amidst the men, mailing back an honest account of the front. By doing this, he befriends Sergeant Major Garland White of the 28th USCT regiment, an escaped slave and minister preparing his comrades for a frontal assault that will either get the conflict, or result in their annihilation. To Make Men Free is Gingrich and Forstchen's most engaging fact-based work yet, showing little known truths, long forgotten in the documents of correspondence, and the genuine judge of inquiry placed after the invasion. The novel draws a fresh and controversial finish while providing a distinct, rousing, and harshly natural view of politics and fight during the darkest season of the Civil Conflict. This must-listen work rewrites our understanding of one of the fantastic battles of the conflict, and the basically forgotten role performed by one of the largest formations of BLACK troops in our nation's history.
