La guerra lo cambia todo.

Recién llegado de las verdes colinas irlandesas, azotadas por la hambruna, el joven Michael Dougherty se ve arrastrado al caos de la Guerra Civil tras escapar a Filadelfia y convertirse en un orgulloso miembro de los Dragones Irlandeses. Con sueños de gloria y la esperanza de regresar con Biddy Lawless, la chica que dejó atrás, Michael se enfrenta a duros entrenamientos, brutales batallas y a los lazos de camaradería que brinda el servicio militar. Pero a través de un diario, vemos las dudas, los miedos y la resiliencia que marcan su camino. La guerra no se trata solo de gloria. Con cada escaramuza, se enfrenta a pérdidas y dificultades que amenazan con cambiarlo para siempre. ¿Descubrirá Michael la fuerza, el coraje y el sacrificio necesarios para luchar por una causa superior a él mismo?

Becoming Michael Dougherty es una poderosa historia sobre el paso a la edad adulta que tiene como telón de fondo uno de los capítulos más oscuros de Estados Unidos.

A book for the tweens and teens.

Clear The Way isn’t anything like Stephen Crane's classic, The Red Badge of Courage, other than its Civil War plot, but it reminded me of that book in so many ways. The Red Badge of Courage, published in 1865, thirty years after Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia. Three decades had passed, but the American Civil War, the bloodiest war in American History, was still fresh in memory when Stephen Crane wrote The Red Badge of Courage. One hundred and twenty-seven years had passed before Kellie May published Clear the Way, yet she writes with such authority that I felt like she was Crane’s contemporary.This may be a work of historical fiction, but the research that went into writing it was meticulous and makes it read like actual history. May nails the character of the real historical figures that make appearances in this tale, as well as the nature of historical sites like Andersonville, the Confederate prisoners of war prison. In some ways, I felt as if I had ridden that well-known DeLorean back in time and was right there in the heat of battle with The Dragoons.This is a great work of historical fiction, but no book is perfect. I felt let down by the ending. It didn’t end the way I had envisioned it ending. Was it a good ending? I’ll let you decide that for yourself after reading the story.

Civil war

War is sterilized a bit but with the truth of loss. I found South in this book was basically demonized (there were good people who fought on both sides) other than one comment mentioning them being fathers, brother's as well. However I could see somewhat seeing the "enemy" that way.Other than those 2 points book was heartfelt and drew you in. I cried when certian characters didn't make it. Good read.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

great start to the Becoming Michael Daugherty series

This was a great start to the Becoming Michael Daugherty series, it had everything that I enjoyed from the Teen Warriors series. I enjoyed the historical elements and getting to know the real person behind the story. It had everything that I was hoping for from Kellie May and I’m glad I read this.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
