Daz is joined by author Gary E. Parker to discuss his fascinating historical fiction novel, Judgment Tree.
Rather than focusing solely on famous battles and military leaders, Parker explores the war through the experiences of ordinary people forced to make extraordinary moral choices. The novel examines the complex relationship between power, race, loyalty, conscience, and survival, showing how the consequences of those choices could extend far beyond the battlefield.
Grounded in meticulous historical research, Judgment Tree brings the Civil War to life as a deeply personal and often uncomfortable period of American history.
