  • The Hornet's Nest: A Novel of the Revolutionary War

    Jimmy Carter

    Hardcover (Thorndike Press, Feb. 2, 2004)
    A New York Times Bestseller A Featured Alternate of the Literary Guild, Doubleday Book Club, and Book of the Month Club In this ambitious and deeply rewarding novel, Jimmy Carter brings to life the Revolutionary War as it was fought in the Deep South. He reminds us that much of the fight took place there, in a struggle of great and small battles of terrible brutality, with neighbor turned against neighbor, the Indians' support sought by both sides, and no quarter asked or given. With its moving love story, vivid action, and the suspense of a war fought with increasing ferocity and stealth, this first novel by a U.S. president is historical fiction at its best.
