The Union is crumbling.
The nation is divided.
A war looms on the horizon.
The unthinkable may have to be done, lest the country fall prey to the claws of chaos.
Alfred F. Jones will fight for his country, will endeavor to keep the Union from utterly dissolving. He will cross boundaries once thought unreachable; he will defile his own morals. For the sake of his country's future, he will stoop to new lows and trudge through battlefields of bodies and blood.
And, if need be, he will bring down the Confederacy himself.
