A Prisoner of Birth

Jeffrey Archer

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2008

A VERY SATISFYING READ
I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed every page of this one! Of course I have to admit to being one of those people who feel that the work of Alexandre Dumas in his Count of Monte Cristo is one of the fifty best novels in the English language.

Impressive Chronicles
Not being a serious student of history, I came across this book purely by accident, it was given to me as a gift. However, once I started to read this narrative I could not help to actually become interested in the fate of these Confederate Soldiers who are buried so far North of their beloved South.The author Mr Walter manages to keep the tone of the book quite easy to read and obviously put ...

This volume traces this fascinating and somewhat sinister history of Ship Island, which lies about 12 miles off the ...
