Already a bestseller in Britain, 1215 sweeps readers back eight centuries in an absorbing portrait of life at a time that saw the Crusades, Richard the Lionheart, and the legendary Robin Hood--as well as King John--all make their marks on history. At the center of this fascinating period is the document that has become the capstone of modern freedom: The Magna Carta. The events leading up to the famous signing of the document at Runnymede in June 1215 lay the foundation for this work that vividly describes everyday life from castle to countryside, from school to church, from hunting in the forest to trial by ordeal.

Early in May 1861, twenty-one-year-old Sam R. Watkins of Columbia, Tennessee, joined the First Tennessee Regiment, Company H, to fight for the Confederacy. Of the 120 original recruits in his company, Watkins was one of only seven to survive every one of its battles, from Shiloh to Nashville. Twenty years later, with a "house full of young 'rebels' clustering around my knees and bumping about my elbows," he wrote this remarkable account of "Co. Aytch" -- its common foot soldiers, its commanders, its Yankee enemies, its victories and defeats, and its ultimate surrender on April 26, 1865. "Co. Aytch" is the work of a natural storyteller who balances the horror of war with an irrepressible sense of humor and a sharp eye for the lighter side of battle. Among Civil War memoirs, it is considered a classic -- a living testament to one man's enduring humanity, courage, and wisdom in the midst of death and destruction.
