Peter Treegate's War — Leonard Wibberley

Peter Treegate s War, second in the Treegate series, begins by picking upboth the course of the American War for Independence and the ongoing,more personal, clash of divided loyalty for 16-year-old Peter. Hisfather, John Treegate, and his foster father, the Maclaren of Spey,jealous and distrustful of each other, and worlds apart in thought andphilosophy, are each making what seem to be impossible andirreconcilable demands of Peter. The resultant struggle, with Peterstriving to be true to both men while also trying to discern and befaithful to his own calling, is colorfully played out across the slow,chaotic course of the war with the redcoats, in which the reader isshown both the cruelty and the decency to be found on both sides. ForPeter there will be capture, imprisonment, and near escapes, as well asa significant unraveling of a mystery which began many years before inScotland at the 1745 Battle of Culloden.
