Best of Friends tells the story of a friendship strained by shattering events, yet stronger than life itself. In the decades before the Civil War, U.S. Army officers trained at West Point and fought together in Mexico and throughout the west – forming bonds of lifelong affection. In 1861, these friendships were shattered as loyal friends now found it their duty to turn their wits and their cannon on one another. This searching, multi-layered and poignant novel examines one such friendship. Spanning sixty years, it sweeps the reader up into a complete, richly-imagined private and public world: a world where honor, loyalty and love may still triumph over the most tragic adversity.
