“So marvelously improbable, so rich in exotic detail, that if often reads more like a historical thriller than the serious work of history that it is.”—Los Angeles Times With the same flair for history and narrative that distinguished his bestseller, The Alienist, Caleb Carr tells the incredible story of Frederick Townsend Ward, the American mercenary who fought for the emperor of China in the Taiping rebellion, history's bloodiest civil war. The Devil Soldier is a thrilling, masterfully researched biography of the kind of adventurer the world no longer sees. Praise for The Devil Soldier “If ever a book of history were made for the movies, Caleb Carr's The Devil Soldier is it.”—Chicago Tribune “Good, thorough, scholarly but absorbing.”—Edward Rice, author of Captain Sir Richard Francis Burton

SAGE: How does this stuff keep happening to me? First it was my cheating ex and the--uhhhh--"accident" that had everyone in town calling me crazy. Now, I've moved to a completely different state, and what have I done? I dropped right into another problem. This time though, it's not a cheating ex, it's the Russian Mob. To make matters worse, I now have to live with the son of my landlords, who are part of the Devil's Soldiers MC, who is a smart-mouthed, arrogant, jerk. I don't care how hot he is, I'm not about to make his life easy. Except, the chemistry between us is out of this world, and now he's the only one that seems to be able to save me from the mob that's hot on my tail. KING: She is the most irritating woman I've ever met. How the hell have I gotten wrapped up in being her bodyguard/roommate? I mean, we can barely stand each other, she's crazy, and now I have to be around her twenty-four/seven. I'm talking worse than my mother crazy. Do we have chemistry? Oh yeah, but I don't have time for that brand of insanity. The Russian Mob is after her for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and I need to keep her safe. So why am I constantly allowing myself to think about her in all the ways I shouldn't?

On the tenth anniversary of the date that UN peacekeepers landed in Rwanda, Random House Canada is proud to publish the unforgettable first-hand account of the genocide by the man who led the UN mission. Digging deep into shattering memories, General Dallaire has written a powerful story of betrayal, naïveté, racism and international politics. His message is simple and undeniable: “Never again.” When Lt-Gen. Roméo Dallaire received the call to serve as force commander of the UN intervention in Rwanda in 1993, he thought he was heading off on a modest and straightforward peacekeeping mission. Thirteen months later he flew home from Africa, broken, disillusioned and suicidal, having witnessed the slaughter of 800,000 Rwandans in only a hundred days. In Shake Hands with the Devil, he takes the reader with him on a return voyage into the hell of Rwanda, vividly recreating the events the international community turned its back on. This book is an unsparing eyewitness account of the failure by humanity to stop the genocide, despite timely warnings. Woven through the story of this disastrous mission is Dallaire’s own journey from confident Cold Warrior, to devastated UN commander, to retired general engaged in a painful struggle to find a measure of peace, reconciliation and hope. This book is General Dallaire’s personal account of his conversion from a man certain of his worth and secure in his assumptions to a man conscious of his own weaknesses and failures and critical of the institutions he’d relied on. It might not sit easily with standard ideas of military leadership, but understanding what happened to General Dallaire and his mission to Rwanda is crucial to understanding the moral minefields our peacekeepers are forced to negotiate when we ask them to step into the world’s dirty wars. Excerpt from Shake Hands with the Devil My story is not a strictly military account nor a clinical, academic study of the breakdown of Rwanda. It is not a simplistic indictment of the many failures of the UN as a force for peace in the world. It is not a story of heroes and villains, although such a work could easily be written. This book is a cri de coeur for the slaughtered thousands, a tribute to the souls hacked apart by machetes because of their supposed difference from those who sought to hang on to power. . . . This book is the account of a few humans who were entrusted with the role of helping others taste the fruits of peace. Instead, we watched as the devil took control of paradise on earth and fed on the blood of the people we were supposed to protect.

In conflicts around the world, there is an increasingly popular weapon system that needs negligible technology, is simple to sustain, has unlimited versatility, and an incredible capacity for both loyalty and barbarism. What are these cheap, renewable, plentiful, sophisticated, and expendable weapons? Children. This important book is part of a passionate personal mission against the use of child soldiers, by the three-star general who commanded the UN mission in Rwanda. When Romeo Dallaire was tasked with achieving peace there in 1994, he and his force found themselves caught up in a vortex of civil war and genocide. He left Rwanda a broken man, disillusioned, suicidal, a story he told in the award-winning international sensation Shake Hands with the Devil. Now, in They Fight Like Soldiers, They Die Like Children, Dallaire provides an emotionally daring and intellectually enlightening introduction to the child soldier phenomenon, as well as concrete solutions for its total eradication. Dallaire speaks up for those without a voice - children in conflicts around the globe who do not choose to fight, but who through ill-fate and the accident of birth find their way into soldiering. This is a book that addresses one of the most harrowing, urgent and important issues of our time.

Nueva obra del autor de El alienista Caleb Carr ilustra en esta novela la vida de Frederick Townsend Ward, de quien un articulista del Los Angeles Times escribio: "Para hacerse una idea de quien fue Frederick Townsend Ward, hay que imaginar una empresa como la de Lawrence de Arabia en version norteamericana, la capacidad de riesgo de Indiana Jones y el sentido etico de Robin Hood."Cuando Townsend Ward llego a Sanghai en 1859, tenia veintiocho anos y los bolsillos vacios; cuando murio en el campo de batalla tres anos mas tarde, era el americano que mas honores habia recibido en la historia de China, un americano que habia sido adoptado por un imperio que le habia honrado con el titulo de mandarin. El compromiso que contrajo con el pueblo chino le llevo a defender las causas mas ventajosas para el pais en esos momentos de cambio. Entre la China medieval de la dinastia Manchu y la revolucion republicana que mas adelante invadiria el pais, hubo un periodo sangriento de colision de fuerzas que querian decidir el futuro del imperio. El pais se encontraba dividido entre las actitudes arcaizantes de los partidarios de preservar el imperio chino manteniendolo en un estado reminiscente de la epoca medieval y la codicia comercial de los occidentales, quienes abrieron vias nuevas de pensamiento social, politico y religioso. Ante esta situacion convulsa, Townsend Ward invirtio todo su pragmatismo en encontrar una via intermedia que resguardara los valores fundamentales del imperio al tiempo que lo desfosilizaba de antiguos anclajes.Caleb Carr aborda un trabajo de historiador para ofrecernos la biografia del aventurero norteamericano mas extraordinario del siglo XIX.
