Having pursued the remnants of the defeated Army of the Potomac up to the banks of the Susquehanna, General Robert E. Lee is caught off balance when news arrives that General Ulysses S. Grant, in command of over 70,000 men, has crossed that same river, a hundred miles to the northwest, and is advancing down the Cumberland Valley towards Virginia. The two brilliant generals will now meet in a massive battle that will decide the outcome of the war. In Never Call Retreat, Newt Gingrich and William Forstchen bring all of their critically-acclaimed talents to bear in what is destined to be a Civil War classic.

Critic Reviews:
"A swiftly paced and authentically grounded novel....The authors' research is impeccable, and their presentation brings events down to a personal level, and, as in any good alternate vision of history, the reader is left believing it could really have happened this way." (Booklist)

Triumphant
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 the Potomac. 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 draw on the first day of Gettysburg becoming a draw 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 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.
Bring back the 10-star rating!!!
The culmination of this great trilogy by Gingrich & Forstchen is every bit as spectacular as the beginning. How I wish it had been a long series, because now we have to bury Lee and Grant once more. I hated for this book to end. The trilogy began with the novel "Gettysburg," where an alternate outcome to the famous battle launched a victorious Confederate Army down a different path. In Never Call Retreat the Civil War is fought to a heart-wrenching conclusion two years early.
