As the American Civil War breaks out, Professor John Martin leads his students in a valiant effort to join the climactic battle; however, as he watches more and more of their young lives get snuffed out, John soon comes to the grim realization that war is nothing more than the tragic slaughter of innocents, and he ultimately undergoes quite the transformative change of heart. Little does he know, though, his newfound conscientious will soon place him in the perilous position of having to decide between destroying either his hometown or his own life...

Skillfully crafted, A Thirst For War is a compelling piece of historical fiction. In his no-holds-barred account of the Civil War, author Raymond Gustavson takes the reader on an eye-opening journey into the living, breathing history behind the crucial conflict. With a masterful eye for detail, Gustavson chronicles the pain, loss, death, and grueling sacrifices suffered by those whose lives the war would ultimately never leave the same, and his adept storytelling style draws the reader deep into the dark, vivid realities of battle. An intriguing read.
