About this audiobook
Third volume in the Starbuck Chronicles. The battle for control of Richmond, the Confederate capital, continues through the hot summer of 1862.
Available for the first time as a downloadable audio file.
Captain Nate Starbuck, yankee fighting for the Southern cause, has to survive and win with his ragged Company in the bitter struggle not only against the formidable Northern army but equally in opposition to his own superiors who would like nothing better than to see Nate Starbuck dead and dishonoured.
Starbuck’s courage is tested to the limit in his desperate manoeuvres to retrieve his own and the Legion’s honour in this the thrid narrative of Bernard Cornwell’s sweeping epic of the American Civil War.

Reviews for Battle Flag
2 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Book 3 of the Starbuck Chronicles, I felt that this work unpredictably shifted characters from antagonist to protagonist with little reason. Still a fun read, yet not as attention grabbing as 'Copperhead.'
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Battle Flag: A well written, fictive account of a phase in the American Civil War, an awful war made worse by religion and the fact that munitions had progressed faster in US than medical treatment. In this third book in a series of four covering this sad period, Bernard Cornwell demonstrates how nobody gained except those at the very top of the social ladder. A good read and a good insight into religious folly.
