Now  J.R. Dunn completes one of his final novels.  LEE STRIKES BACK!  After a terrible setback at Gettysburg  General Robert E. Lee does not retreat across the Potomac and his ultimate surrender at Appomattox. Instead  he turns the tables on Union General George Meade with a vicious counterattack that sets the Union Army on its heels.  While Lee sets across Pennsylvania in a dazzling war of maneuver  a crazed actor closes in on President Abraham Lincoln. Standing in his way is Major Steve Thorne  a thoughtful lawyer-turned-soldier fighting for the Union and his own self-respect  and Cassandra Baird  a young woman whose courage is only surpassed by her determination to teach emancipated slaves to read and write  and so ensure their freedom.  Opposing them is Colonel Corey Wade  a brave Confederate officer who is just as determined to fight to the death for his honor and that of his state. And  in the end  the fate of a nation may come down to a freed slave named Hadrian  a man with an iron resolve never to return to bondage.
