Book
Chariots in the Smoke
First published 1997
David Rocklin continues to serve as Confederate resistance collapses under the pressure of prolonged campaigning. The smoke of battle conceals both tactical danger and the family consequences of choices made earlier in the war.
The novel follows the saga towards defeat, combining battlefield action, romance and spiritual reassessment. Its emphasis falls on what courage means when victory is no longer plausible and reconciliation has become a more difficult duty than resistance.
