FREMANTLE is a historical novel set in 1863 at the height of the American Civil War. Due to the above average length it is in two volumes. The main character, Arthur Fremantle, was a real British Coldstream Guards officer who came to America to observe the war. The book is full of historical information, especially concerning the British involvement, but this is tempered by a heady romance, political intrigue, villainy, and a very different outcome from the real war. It also contains the answer to why Britain and the European powers would not recognize The Confederate South. There are battle maps and photographs of all the real participants in the great American struggle. The book also has three never before published photographs of Fremantle and his wife. A good read for serious Civil War students and fiction readers alike.
