  The return of a classic novel by legendary author Howard Fast, soon to become an HBO movie! This is the simple and moving story of Jamie Stuart, of the 11th Regiment of the Pennsylvania Line. Jamie Stuart, bound to a cobbler, had run away to join the army at seventeen. Now as a man of twenty-two, he is chosen one of the Committee of Sergeants who, on New Year's Day of 1781, when open revolt seemed the only way to justify the principles for which they fought, organise and hold the Line together against its officers.
