Look Away by Harold Coyle (Epub)

Description

A Civil War epic follows the struggles of two brothers who are pitted on opposing sides in the war, a situation that is complicated when they both fall for the same woman.

In this riveting Civil War adventure, Coyle’s command of the battlefield brings home the grim reality of that wrenching conflict. At the heart of the story are two brothers, sons of a prosperous New Jersey businessman whose growing wealth and power are dependent on his ability to avoid choosing sides as the abolitionist movement takes hold. James and Kevin Bannon, who have always shielded each other from their father’s tyrannical outbursts, see their fierce loyalty abruptly shattered by their rivalry over a woman–and her shocking, violent death. James is sent off to Virginia Military Institute to make something of himself, while Kevin attends college in the north. Soon they will find themselves on opposite sides in every great action of the war. Look Away is a powerful, richly detailed work, full of the drama and anguish of America’s cruelest war.

User’s Reviews

Review [Coyle] writes convincingly of combat and of conditions within the two armies. Curiously, though, his prose truly comes alive when he is describing the lives of women caught up in a war in which they were not allowed to participate. This surely will be popular in most libraries. –Library Journal

Reviews from Amazon users, collected at the time the book is getting published on UniedVRG. It can be related to shiping or paper quality instead of the book content:

⭐ The book and its sequel, Until the End, is the story of James and Kevin Bannon fighting on different sides in the Civil War. James fought for the Confederacy and Kevin as an officer for the Union. I thought the author did a very good job of describing the battle scenes. In particular, his coverage of the Battle of the Wilderness and Spotsylvania were just great reading.

⭐ I like the character development. Your find yourself routing for both sides and discover there are no winners. I will read the sequel.

⭐ Product arrived on time. Seller, Best Chapter, took extra care to ensure book arrived in pristine condition. Price was good. I would definitely buy from them again.

⭐ This is the 2nd time I am reading this story. Very well done and will keep you reading.

⭐ I liked it

⭐ great

⭐ This book follows two brothers who went into different sides of the war. It was a very good story of the horrors of war and how people take care of one another.

⭐ Leaves you hanging at the end.

⭐ Very good book. I am an avid student of the Civil War and this book gave an interesting view of both side, seen through the eyes of two brothers, one fighting for the south and one fighting for the north. I would recommend the book highly.

⭐ As a student of the Civil War I thought Coyle did a tolerable job with his facts and battle scenes. Since “Stone Wall” Jackson played a pivotal roll in the beginning of his book I thought Coyle should have spent more time on Jackson’s part in the battle of Chancellorsville and his accidental death by “friendly fire”. He barely mentioned it, as an after thought. I mean, since he took pains to develop a relationship between his protagonist and Jackson he could have devoted a few paragraphs, if not pages, to this event.I also thought his ending was an anti-climax. I realize he was leaving himself plenty of wiggle room for a sequel, but, to me, a powerful ending is just as important as a powerful beginning.I have his book, Savage Wilderness, in my library, but don’t seem to be able to get into it. I may not pursue other books by him.
