Two armies. One flag. No honor.
The darkest day in American history.
Former political journalist Glen Craney has enthralled readers with novels set during the medieval crusades and Scottish wars of independence. Now the award-winning author turns to World War I and the Great Depression, bringing to life the emotional but little-known story of the Bonus March of 1932, which culminated in a violent clash between thousands of homeless veterans and U.S. Army regulars on the streets of the nation's capital.

Mired in the Great Depression, the United States teeters on the brink of revolution. And the nation holds its collective breath as a rail-riding hobo from Portland leads 20,000 fellow World War I veterans on a desperate quest to the steps of the U.S. Capitol to demand payment of their service compensation bonus.
This timely epic evokes the historical novels of Jeff Sharra as it sweeps across three decades and unfolds events through the eyes of eight remarkable Americans who survive the fighting in France during the Great War and come together again, fourteen years later, to determine the fate of a country threatened by communism and fascism:
We follow these fascinating Americans across a memorable panorama that reaches from the Boxer Rebellion in China to the Plain of West Point, from the persecution of conscientious objectors in the Midwest to the horrors of the Marne in France, and from the Hoovervilles of the heartland to the pitiful Anacostia encampment in the bowels of Washington, D.C.
Here is an alarming portrayal of the political intrigue and government betrayal that resulted in the only violent conflict between two American armies under the same flag.
