The Battle of Jettena Junction is a remarkable work. This intriguing combination of fiction work and history textbook subverts and reverses the expectations of historical fiction, using plot as the backdrop of history rather than history as the backdrop for the plot - a history book with a dash of fiction rather than a fiction book with a dash of history. *****The Confederate States of America had suffered recent devastating defeats at the hands of the Union in recent months. Their capital, Richmond was now a smoldering ruin. Though their spirits were still high, the Confederacy was on the verge of collapse. One more devastating battle, one more dramatic defeat would see the end of the newly formed nation before the eyes of the world.So when the opportunity arose to conclude the most devastating war in America's history, to end in their favor, what better way to end it but by capturing the Federal's leader, President Abraham Lincoln, a she traveled from Washington D.C., to Gettysburg to honor the fallen. The question was? Where was the best location to conduct their hit and run attack? Why, a small siding in Pennsylvania, named Jettena Junction.But what was to be a simple in and out raid turned into a total rout the Confederacy.Deceit, disobeyed orders and commands, betrayal, glory hunting, poor intelligenceAll played their part as the cream of their military faced a determined foe.
