About This Book

Il romanzo narra le tensioni che attraversano un esercito presbiteriano in vista di una battaglia: un comandante tenta di consolidare posizioni difensive e mantenere il ponte, ma la disciplina si disgrega sotto l'influenza di predicatori infiammati e di fazioni discordi. Discorsi fanatici e rivalità tra moderati e ultrà provocano tumulti, nuove nomine e abbandono dei più prudenti, compromettendo la preparazione militare. La vicenda mette a confronto zelo religioso e prudenza strategica, esplorando il prezzo della divisione interna e le difficoltà del comando in tempo di crisi.
