Set against the blood-soaked battlefields of the American Civil War, Rebel launches Bernard Cornwell's Starbuck Chronicles with the visceral intensity and meticulous historical detail that have made the author a master of military fiction. The novel chronicles the journey of Nathaniel Starbuck, a young Bostonian and son of a famous abolitionist preacher, who finds himself stranded in the South on the eve of war and ultimately takes up arms for the Confederacy — the very side his upbringing taught him to despise. Cornwell presents the moral contradictions of the conflict with unflinching honesty, illustrating how loyalty, identity, and survival can override ideology when cannon smoke fills the air. The narrative builds to a thunderous recreation of the First Battle of Bull Run, rendered with the chaotic, terrifying authenticity that Cornwell's legions of fans have come to expect. Propulsive, morally complex, and richly researched, Rebel is a gripping opening chapter in one of historical fiction's most compelling series.
