Tennessee has seceded from the Union. In the northeastern counties of the state, more than half of the citizens are still loyal to the North. Daniel Ellis, a poor wagon repairer, finds himself caught between defending his family and his freedom and giving into the violence that is erupting all over the country. As Union Tennessee families are hanged and imprisoned without trial, Ellis does his best to thwart the local Confederate authorities, lead refugees to the Northern lines, and keep his family alive as they desperately wait for a Federal invasion force. Ellis and the men that follow him must decide how far they are willing to go to protect their families and the loyal people of East Tennessee.

The creation of innovative products and services by entrepreneurs is often cited as one of the key strengths of the current American economy. Academics and executives alike are beginning to recognize the advantages of innovation and real-time experimentation over traditional strategic planning processes. Large firms find they need to create strategies that are entrepreneurial, and emerging firms are recognizing the importance of a continuing emphasis on entrepreneurship in their long-term strategic vision.

This volume reviews the existing literature in the area of entrepreneurship strategy and includes chapters by six distinguished strategic management scholars: Kathleen M. Eisenhardt, Michael A. Hitt, Jay Barney, Raffi Amit, Grant Miles, and Arnold Cooper.
