Query: Plotless, meandering, unsatisfying

Neslon fabricates three stories with the most unlikely of connections in order to have his characters at the main events of the early Civil War. None of the characters is particularly outstanding. The book is mainly concerned with getting from battle scene to battle scene, and describing the horrors of battle. Yawn. And guess what? The Confederacy loses! Still, it's not as bad as Guns of the South.
