Most of us take for granted the freedoms this country has been blessed with, but freedom is not free. This is my story, a simple southern boy from Arkansas who at the age of eleven wanted to be a marine. I found myself in the Vietnam War at the age of eighteen, that pushed me to the limit physically and psychologically. The images I carry in my mind are still horrifying at times and for many years, I blamed myself for my fallen comrades. Feelings of anger hate guilt and bitterness were trapped within my soul and ate at me a little each day until there was no more of me left. Miraculously, I was redeemed when I re-found my faith in God; and the soul mate who helped me through it all. I truly hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Semper Fi!

This novel, one of the finest Philip Gibbs has yet written, does full justice to an inspiring theme. It is the story of Poland -- of the young men and women who, the author writes, "were first to make a stand against the armies of Hitler -- a desperate challenge -- and who went underground in a secret army until the amazing epic of the Rising in Warsaw". It is the story of how Poland's drama affected the lives of one Polish family and their friends, a family typical of many, who, happy well-to-do people before war broke out, when it did come, were called upon to witness scenes of indescribable horror, to suffer bereavement, privation and persecution, and to realize the depths of degradation to which human beings could descend. The Mirskis, like many others, helped to keep up the gallant and unremitting struggle for freedom in the face of terrible odds. Although a novel -- a vivid and imaginative reconstruction of those times -- the book is wholly authentic in the picture which it gives of Polish life at this terrible period in the country's history, and through its pages move some of the real heroes of the Polish Resistance, among them General Anders, Commander-in-Chief of the Polish Army which fought with the Allies on many fronts, and General Komorowski, who, under the pseudonym of 'Bor', raised a secret army of 40,000 men under the very noses of the Gestapo in Warsaw. Tragic though it is, it is also an exciting and deeply moving book which will bring alive for many readers an episode in history which none should forget.

The Price of Freedom surveys and explains the fascinating and intricate history of East Central Europe - the present day countries of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. Taking a thematic approach, the author explores such issues and controversies as the tension between the industrial developed West and the agrarian East Central Europe, the rise of modern nationalism, democracy and authoritarianism and Communism. While the countries of East Central Europe have differed dramatically from one another, the author asserts that they have been bound by a certain community of fate. These comparisons are traced through the Middle Ages and the Early Modern era to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This exploration reveals that it is no accident that the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland were the first among the former Soviet bloc nations to be admitted to NATO, and are likely to become the first members of the expanded European Union. Thus an understanding of their experiences, contributions and their place within the European community of nations vastly enriches our knowledge of Europe's past and present.The second edition of this distinguished book brings the history of the region up to date. It discusses the events of the post-communist decade of the 1990s and the problems resulting from the transition to democracy and market economy.

Filled with fresh interpretations and information, puncturing old myths and challenging new ones, Battle Cry of Freedom will unquestionably become the standard one-volume history of the Civil War. James McPherson's fast-paced narrative fully integrates the political, social, and military events that crowded the two decades from the outbreak of one war in Mexico to the ending of another at Appomattox. Packed with drama and analytical insight, the book vividly recounts the momentous episodes that preceded the Civil War--the Dred Scott decision, the Lincoln-Douglas debates, John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry--and then moves into a masterful chronicle of the war itself--the battles, the strategic maneuvering on both sides, the politics, and the personalities. Particularly notable are McPherson's new views on such matters as the slavery expansion issue in the 1850s, the origins of the Republican Party, the causes of secession, internal dissent and anti-war opposition in the North and the South, and the reasons for the Union's victory. The book's title refers to the sentiments that informed both the Northern and Southern views of the conflict: the South seceded in the name of that freedom of self-determination and self-government for which their fathers had fought in 1776, while the North stood fast in defense of the Union founded by those fathers as the bulwark of American liberty. Eventually, the North had to grapple with the underlying cause of the war--slavery--and adopt a policy of emancipation as a second war aim. This "new birth of freedom," as Lincoln called it, constitutes the proudest legacy of America's bloodiest conflict. This authoritative volume makes sense of that vast and confusing "second American Revolution" we call the Civil War, a war that transformed a nation and expanded our heritage of liberty.
