Hardback. Condición: Very Good. "The world has a new hero ? actually an old hero reimagined ? George Armstrong Custer, in this delightfully funny alternative history that's better, or at least happier, than the real thing." ?WINSTON GROOM, bestselling author of Forrest Gump and El Paso  "Droll satire, this is the West as it might have been if the Sioux hadn't saved us."?STEPHEN COONTS, bestselling author of Flight of the Intruder and Liberty's Last Stand  "A good, old-fashioned yarn.There is much to enjoy in Crocker's book." ? AUSTIN RUSE, American Greatness "If Custer died for our sins, Armstrong resurrects him for our delight. Not just the funniest book ever written about an Indian massacre, but laugh out loud funny, period. The best historical comic adventure since George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman." ?PHILLIP JENNINGS, author of Nam-A-Rama and Goodbye Mexico "Crocker has created a hilarious hero for the ages. Armstrong rides through the Old West setting right the wrongs, and setting wrong the rights, in a very funny cascade of satire, history, and even patriotism." ?ROB LONG, Emmy- and Golden Globes-nominated screenwriter and co-executive producer of Cheers "Crocker?s Custer, a milk-drinking, sharp-shooting master of disguises, takes us on a series of uproarious adventures in the persona of Armstrong. Armstrong is an extraordinary hero? a military strategist, a courageous fighter and some sort of dog whisperer to boot. He?s also a dashing romantic with a knack for making women swoon.I?ll look forward to finding out where duty calls Armstrong next." -- The Washington Examiner  "I?ve thoroughly enjoyed Harry Crocker?s latest, a satirical alternative history about Michigan?s own George Armstrong Custer, simply and cleverly entitled Armstrong. In Crocker?s world, Custer survived a butchering by Crazy Horse at the Battle of Little Bighorn and has become a Victorian paladin and celebrity, doing everything over the top and then some more beyond the top. Crocker knows his history, so his anti-history is knock-down, pain in the stomach, hilarious.Even within the slap-stick outrageousness, there lurk and hover very meaningful and subtle points and comments. In other words, Crocker has produced a fictional masterpiece."  - BRADLEY BIRZER, the Russell Amos Kirk Chair in History at Hillsdale College "Action-packed and great for laughs. Fathers will love reading this book with their sons.  Patriots will love it, too. Prepare to delight in American history and heroism, unencumbered by trigger warnings." -- The American Thinker This is the kind of book young people should want to read, which will challenge them and widen their horizons. It is part history, part humor, part drama, and all-around entertainment." - JAMES ROBBINS, author of "Erasing America: Losing Our Future by Destroying Our Past."  "A sly and funny revisionist take on an icon of the American West." - City Journal "The conservative novel of the year. Armstrong is a rollicking work of alternate history that doesn?t sacrifice accurate details or historical nuance for the sake of your entertainment. Armstrong?s Custer is a hero to love and admire." -- GRACE HOUGHTON, The Conservative Book Club "H.W. Crocker has irresistible fun with George Armstrong Custer.a hilarious adventure." -- The American Spectator "If you like learning history while laughing, you'll like this book.marvelous satire." -- DAVID LIMBAUGH, #1 bestselling author of The True Jesus and The Great Destroyer: Barack Obama's War on the Republic What if Custer survived the Battle of the Little Bighorn?  What if he became a gun-for-hire?  And what if he made common cause with a troupe of cancan dancers, Chinese acrobats, an eyepatch-wearing rebel cardsharp, and a multilingual Crow scout? Eager to clear his name from the ignominy of his last stand - but forced to do so incognito, under the clever pseudonym Armstrong - Custer comes across evildoings in the mysterious Montana town of Bloody Gulch, which a ruthless Indian trader runs as his own personal fiefdom, with rumors of muder, slavery, and buried treasure.  Armstrong is a rip-roaring tale of action, adventure, and hilarity as the ridiculously handsome, astonishingly brave, and highly susceptible milk-drinking cavalryman travels through the untamed West.  The Custer of the West Series begins here ? and it's a wild ride you won't want to miss.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Nothing offends liberals and leftists more than western imperialism - it is racism, sexism, and chauvinism all in one. And of course the epitome of western imperialism is the British Empire, the biggest empire the world has ever known. This title exposes how the British Empire was actually one of the greatest establishers and defenders of freedom.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Think you know the Civil War?You don't know the full story until you read The Politically Incorrect GuideTM to the Civil War Bestselling author and former Conservative Book Club editor H. W. Crocker III offers a quick and lively study of America's own Iliad--the Civil War--in this provocative and entertaining addition to The Politically Incorrect GuideTM series. In The Politically Incorrect GuideTM to the Civil War Crocker profiles eminent--and colorful--military generals including the noble Lee, the controversial Sherman, the indefatigable Grant, the legendary Stonewall Jackson, and the notorious Nathan Bedford Forrest. He also includes thought-provoking chapters such as "The Civil War in Sixteen Battles You Should Know" and the most devastatingly politically incorrect chapter of all, "What If the South Had Won?" Along the way, he reveals a huge number of little-known truths, including why Robert E. Lee had a higher regard for African Americans than Lincoln did; how, if there had been no Civil War, the South would have abolished slavery peaceably (as every other country in the Western Hemisphere did in the nineteenth century); and how the Confederate States of America might have helped the Allies win World War I sooner. Bet your history professor never told you:* Leading Northern generals--like McClellan and Sherman--hated abolitionists* Bombing people "back to the Stone Age" got its start with the Federal siege of Vicksburg* General Sherman professed not to know which was "the greater evil": slavery or democracy* Stonewall Jackson founded a Sunday school for slaves where he taught them how to read* General James Longstreet fought the Battle of Sharpsburg in his carpet slippers This is the Politically Incorrect GuideTM that every Civil War buff and Southern partisan--and everyone who is tired of liberal self-hatred that vilifies America's greatest heroes--must have on his bookshelf.…
