Description

Henry Fleming just wants to be a hero. So when he gets the chance to fight in the American Civil War he signs up right away.

But out on the battlefield it's a long way from home, and the reality of war is not as romantic as he thought.

When you're doomed if you fight and doomed if you run, what's a man to do?

Henry doesn't want to be a coward, but sometimes courage is the hardest thing to find.
