I will start by saying that this isn't my usual type of book.  I don't generally read war stories, politics or American history so I wasn't in my comfort zone.  However, I was swept along by the story, the medical matters and the characters in this time-slip novel.  The hero of the book is befriended by a fellow surgeon he meets in the past and their mutual understanding and co-operation are what gives this book its strength.  He knows the outcome of the Civil War of course, but his own actions have unexpected consequences.It's an interesting book, quite fast paced and exciting.  As a horror story reader I didn't find the blood and guts off-putting but rather, I was fascinated by the descriptions.  Well worth a read.
