The French writer Francois Mauriac once predicted that "when de Gaulle will be here no longer, he will still be here." This insight has proved prophetic. In contemporary France, Charles de Gaulle has become a figure of legend, consistently acclaimed as the nation's pre-eminent "historical" figure. Central to this popularity is the recognition of his pivotal role as the founder, and then the leader, of the Resistance movement during the Second World War. Once might be tempted to conclude that it is the man who became mythical, not the institutions he created. But here, the paradoxes abound. For one thing, his personal popularity sits oddly with his social origins and professional background. Neither the nobility, nor the Catholic Church, nor the Army is particularly well-regarded in France today: in their different ways, they all symbolize antiquated traditions and values. So why, then, do the French nonetheless identify with, celebrate, and even revere this austere and devout nobleman, who remained closely wedded to military values throughout his life? In the Shadow of the General resolves this mystery and explains how de Gaulle has to come occupy such a privileged position in the French imagination. Sudhir Hazareesingh's story of how an individual life transformed into national myth also tells a great deal about the French collective self in the twenty-first century: its fractured memory, its aspirations to greatness, and its manifold anxieties. Alongside the tale of de Gaulle's legacy, a much broader narrative unfolds: the story of modern France.

"You Know Heroes are ordinary people that have achieved extraordinary things in life.".(1)Some of those ordinary people changed history but remained in footnotes of the history books. An Iroquois Chief, Canasatego showed a practicing republic as an example .Founding father, George Mason, laid the ground work for a nation.The first ten amendments to the Constitution may not have happen, without him James Armistead was instrumental in starting a nation. He passed on a simple message that gave us Independence. Irena Sendler saved a generation of Warsaw Jews, gave hope for resistance and helped keep the culture alive. Joshua Chamberlain, a school teacher, saved a nation, with a military manuever, that rivaled the greatest military minds. Vasili Arkhipov saved the world from nuclear destruction, by shaking his head no. Aaron Aaronsohn had a dream to create a nation by way of sharing natural resources, possibly came within hours of achieving a coalition, that without it, has been the center earth's unrest. Edith Bolling Wilson kept a Presidency intact by performing duties a First Lady had never done before or since.

Thirty-two years after the battle of Shiloh, Lew Wallace returned to the battlefield, mapping the route of his April 1862 march. Ulysses S. Grant, Wallace's commander at Shiloh, expected Wallace and his Third Division to arrive early in the afternoon of April 6. Wallace and his men, however, did not arrive until nightfall, and in the aftermath of the bloodbath of Shiloh Grant attributed Wallace's late arrival to a failure to obey orders. By mapping the route of his march and proving how and where he had actually been that day, the sixty-seven-year-old Wallace hoped to remove the stigma of "Shiloh and its slanders." That did not happen. Shiloh still defines Wallace's military reputation, overshadowing the rest of his stellar military career and making it easy to forget that in April 1862 he was a rising military star, the youngest major general in the Union army. Wallace was devoted to the Union, but he was also pursuing glory, fame, and honor when he volunteered to serve in April 1861. In Shadow of Shiloh: Major General Lew Wallace in the Civil War, author Gail Stephens specifically addresses Wallace's military career and its place in the larger context of Civil War military history.

The Paladins thought this was going to be just another day but they were wrong. Little did they know the knights of the black rose had a new commander, and he was on the move to try and take over the world from the shadows. The Paladins had their hands full trying to stop them, but when you looked into the shadows long enough, something even more evil looked back at them. A barely alive evil entity from the past was feeding on all the war and strife slowly building his strength to escape its prison. It will take both of them to stop it from the conquest of the world. But they will have to learn firsthand because there is very little information available for them to learn how to stop the entity.
