This breathtaking and brutal novel is a gripping tale set in the magnificent Caucasus Mountains during Georgia's ill-fated invasion of Abkhazia in 1992. The Caucasus Cauldron gives a vivid focus to a historical moment left out of the history books, a world ripping itself apart and ravaged by never-ending hatred and blood feuds.

The year is 1950. The world is in turmoil. The Chinese have invaded Korea, the Cold War is raging, and, at home, a senator accuses the State Department of being riddled with communists. Under this backdrop, Simon Biggs, son of a coal miner and Navy veteran, is graduating from college on the GI bill. He has dreams of a future far away from the mines.

These historical fiction stories take the listener on a journey into the most tragic time in our history—the Civil War. Arranged along a rough timeline of the period, they cover a broad area of mood and events and range from a young man’s escape from an outlaw gang in Missouri to join a North Carolina regiment back home, to the discovery of Lee’s lost orders by a Union sergeant, to a boy too curious about war, to a young woman who has dressed like a man to join her brother in the war, to enemies who become friends over a fishing hole.
