description: In Marching To Valhalla, Michael Blake turns his storyteller's eye on George Armstrong custer, West Pointer, youngest Union general of the Civil War, horseman, passionate lover, explorer, ardent husband, and, most famously, Indian hunter. In Blake's pages, Custer emerges as a dashing, driven soldier, suspicious of his friends, respectful of his enemies, and ever unable to feel quite alive in the civilian world. Composed in the form of Custer's journal, Marching To Valhalla is an impeccable merging of fact and fiction, a powerfull evocation of our bloody past, and a tribute to the endurance of a human heart facing adversity and disaster. A masterpiece of Michael Blake's novel is a tragic romance that reveals a Custer never before imagined, and lets us finally contemplate the twisting, uncharted paths to glory and doom.
