It is May of 1863 and the Civil War in North America has entered
its third year. Facing a range of enemy threats, southern commander
General Robert E. Lee proposes an invasion of the northern states
to supply his army, relieve pressure on other imperilled fronts and
to seek decisive victory on enemy territory that could end the war.
Irish immigrant Daniel Ryan serves with his comrades of a Georgian
regiment as the campaign unfolds, with Lee's army manoeuvring
northwards through Virginia and across the Potomac River into
Maryland and Pennsylvania, moving towards a fateful encounter with
the Union army around the market town of Gettysburg. Martin Hicks
lives in Fraserburgh in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. He began writing
after a career in education and "Mirage of Victory" is his sixth
book, based on the experiences of Daniel Ryan in the American Civil
War of 1861-65. Other novels by the same author: A Gathering of
Soldiers Hard Passage North The Rappahannock Line A Season for
Killing A Deepening Twilight
