Bernard Cornwell's superb Civil War dramas have been weighed against Michael Shaara's The Killer Angels. Basing Challenge Flag on the Advertising campaign of Second Manassas in August, 1862, Cornwell can take the listener from whispered negotiations to the roar of cannon fireplace. A Northerner fighting for the South, Nate Starbuck has recognized himself as captain of his Confederate regiment. But his fights go beyond the rifle smoking. The enmity between Starbuck and his commander, the unethical Basic Faulconer, is never far from the surface. And when Nate encounters his stern daddy, who is fervently supporting Northern soldiers, Nate must assess his own price for triumph. Their flags are powerful icons of the devotion and ideology at work as Confederate and Union regiments clash at Manassas. But background, as Cornwell shows, is also formed by more personal motives. Ed Sala's performance catches all the play of the Civil War-on the battlefields and in men's hearts.
