"Father and Son at War" is an interesting book for those who love to read historical fiction. It is obvious Isabel Vandervelde is a lover of history, as she carefully described the Civil War and provided excellent background information for the storyline. This was a very engaging read. What was most enjoyable was the historical background of the novel intertwined with the developing relationship between the white General and his mulatto son. Both of these elements worked wonderfully together, strengthening one another, and form an excellent collection of personal introspections of the Civil War.
