"Charles Price's new novel is a rare combination of both the novelist's and
historian's art, a brilliant recreation of a distant past and containing by
far keener insights than any writer before him into that complex soldier,
Nathanael Greene."—John Buchanan, author of The Road to Guilford
Courthouse:
The American Revolution in the Carolinas
"July 4th marks an important day in our country's history, of course,
but this year it also marks an important day in North Carolina letters. This
July 4th is the official publication date of Charles Price's masterly new
novel, Nor the Battle to the Strong, set during the American
Revolution. Charles has labored over this book since the attacks of 9/11,
and his drawings grace the book's pages. This July we can celebrate both our
country's independence and the publication of this new work by one of North
Carolina's finest fiction writers."—Kathryn Stripling Byer, Poet
Laureate of North Carolina
"A spell-binding story, beautifully written,
that teaches more about
the how, why, and who of the Revolutionary War in the South
than histories devoted to the topic."—Dennis Conrad, Naval
Historical Center, Washington, D.C., and former editor of the
Papers of
General Nathanael Greene
"The crucial story of the battles of the American Revolution in the
South, and of General Nathanael Greene's role in them, has almost been
passed over by historians, Hollywood, and the popular imagination. But no
campaign, no single figure, is more significant in the narrative of eventual
victory at Yorktown, and the birth of the Republic. We are indebted to
Charles F. Price for telling that story memorably and with authority in
Nor the Battle to the Strong. This is a thrilling, inspiring, and
enlightening book."—Robert Morgan, author of Brave Enemies: A Novel of
the American Revolution
"With this new novel, . . . Price has reached an apotheosis. The book is
a masterwork, a showpiece of historical authenticity, and a highly personal
testament."—Rob Neufeld, Asheville Citizen-Times
(For the complete review, see
"Price Pens American Revolution Novel,"
in the Asheville Citizen-Times.)
"Charles Price has fused
extensive research and a born storyteller's talent to create a compelling
novel of a too-long-neglected aspect of Southern, and American, history.
Nor the Battle to the Strong is an impressive addition to Price's
already considerable literary achievement."—Ron Rash, author of The
World Made Straight
" Charles Price's masterful novel . . .
[is] the most compelling portrait
of Nathanael
Greene I have read [and] will doubtless win many admirers
for this great man whose courageous persistence ensured
that the South
would be part of the new America."—Seabrook Wilkinson, The Charleston Mercury
"A masterful story, carefully researched and wonderfully written,
blending fact with a brilliant and vivid imagination. The style, the voice,
and an eighteenth-century flavor suit the subject perfectly, and the
military vocabulary of the period adds dash and color. . . . Price's
fascination with his subject shows in every detail."—Isabel Zuber,
Winston-Salem Journal (For the complete review, see
"Epic Novel Considers Humanity at the Heart of Battle," in the
Winston-Salem Journal.)
