Praise for Nor the Battle to the Strong:
Kathryn Stripling Byer, North
Carolina Poet Laureate writes, "July 4th marks an important day
in our country's history, of course, but this year it also marks an
important day in North Carolina letters. This July 4th is the official
publication date of Charles Price’s masterly new novel, Nor the Battle to the Strong, set
during the American Revolution. Charles has labored over this book
since the attacks of 9/11, and his drawings grace the book's pages…
This July we can celebrate both our country's independence and the
publication of this new work by one of North Carolina’s finest fiction
writers."

the
The Papers of General Nathanael Greene, read the book in manuscript and has called it
“a spell-binding story, beautifully written, that teaches more about the how, why, and who of the
Revolutionary War in the South than histories devoted to the topic.”
Seabrook Wilkinson, Literary Correspondent, The Charleston Mercury writes, “Charles Price’s masterful novel Nor the Battle to the Strong…[is] the most compelling portrait of Nathanael Greene I have read [and] will doubtless win many admirers for this great man whose courageous persistence ensured that the South would be part of the new America.”
Ron Rash, author of One Foot in Eden, Saints at the River, The World Made Straight and the forthcoming Serena, one of the South’s most distinguished novelists, short story writers and poets, has said of Price’s book, “Charles Price has fused extensive research and a born storyteller’s talent to create a compelling novel of a too-long-neglected aspect of Southern, and American, history. Nor the Battle to the Strong is an impressive addition to Price’s already considerable literary achievement.”
John Buchanan, author of The Road to Guilford Courthouse, acknowledged as the definitive modern account of the campaign that won Revolution in the South, has written of Nor the Battle to the Strong, “Charles Price’s new novel is a rare combination of the novelist’s and historian’s art, a brilliant recreation of a distant past and containing by far keener insights than any writer before him into that complex soldier, Nathanael Greene.”
Robert Morgan, author of Brave Enemies: a Novel of the American Revolution said, "The crucial story of the battles of the American Revolution in the South, and of General Nathanael Greene's role in them, has almost been passed over by historians, Hollywood, and the popular imagination. But no campaign, no single figure, is more significant in the narrative of eventual victory at Yorktown, and the birth of the Republic. We are indebted to Charles F. Price for telling that story memorably and with authority in Nor the Battle to the Strong. This is a thrilling, inspiring, and enlightening book."
