This book opened my eyes to the past and what hatred does to us.  Because my Grandpa helped free 2 concentration camps during WWII, I devour books on that subject and have read many, many accounts of how hatred and greed can destroy and how love and hope can bring new life.  Because this book was about history, too, I decided to give it a try when it was offered for free.  It opened my eyes and had me wonder if this brutality could really have happened between human beings!  It did!  History never ceases to amaze me how people react so differently to the emotions of love and hate, hope and dispair.  I thought this book was very well written and brought me back to the time of the civil war.  I appriciated seeing slavery through the eyes of a young boy.  BRAVO!!!  I look forward to reading more books from this author.
