Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Eben Kruge: How 'A Christmas Carol' Came to be Written is a story about Charles Dickens. And how wonderful it is for those who love Christmas to read and hear stories that inspire the happiest of seasons. And no story is as compelling and packed with apprehension as Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, penned in only six weeks in 1843. But what inspired the 'Carol' What triggered Dickens' imagination to write a story so unlike anything he had written before-a story about Christmas, a story wrought with flashbacks and flash-forwards and infused with the supernatural In 'Eben Kruge,' award-winning author, Richard Barlow Adams, delivers a page-turning narrative that weaves fact and fiction for a penetrating look inside the life and psyche of Dickens. In 1842, Dickens and his wife, Catherine, traveled to America at the invitation of Washington Irving. Thirty years old and already world-famous, Dickens visits nearly two dozen American cities, as far south as Richmond, as far west as St. Louis, and as far north as Canada's Quebec. At the end of the five-month trip, exhausted, overly vetted, less than enamored with the new nation, and for the first time faced with 'writer's block,' he makes a final stop at the United States Military Academy 50 miles north of New York City on the Hudson River. While at the Academy, Dickens learns of the man, Eben Kruge, a shyster attorney who resides in nearby Cornwall, a man whose 'black turned to white' quite literally overnight. Declaring he must meet the man and know his story, Dickens strikes out for Cornwall early the next morning, oblivious to what lies ahead and risking the secret he intends to take to the grave.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Charlie's Ashes: A Greatest Generation StorySam Lombardo (100 years old), an Italian immigrant, retired Army lieutenant colonel, and twice widowed, has had enough of his WWII buddies passing away while he awaits his turn at Patriot House Senior Living Facility in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. Whether it was the little girl with the pink Eiffel Tower applique on her white T-shirt or the rich cabernet sauvignon from Saint Emilion, he didn't know. But he was decided. He would think and go on the offense, just as he had in the Battle of the Bulge and the other battles fought before and after crossing the Rhine into the heart of Hitler's Germany. But first, he would lay the gauntly squarely before John Beard (101), Bill McCoween (93), and Joe Gossen (94). Linder, Hanna (ilustrador).…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In August 1860, no one would have conceived that the upcoming presidential election would unravel the United States of America and precipitate a war between its parts, one that would claim more lives than all its other wars combined. Told through the lens of West Point classmates and graduates, THE PARTING is a fact-based narrative of the impulsive descent of the nation from peace to war from August 1860 to the First Battle of Bull Run, July 1861. It is also the epic love story of West Point cadet John Pelham from Alabama and the beautiful Clara Bolton from Philadelphia, aspiring to be the country's second female doctor and who has never seen a slave. John Pelham is a first-classman (senior) at the Academy and the most popular and gifted man in the Class of 1861. Clara is a senior at Clermont College for Women on Long Island, facing an uphill battle to become a doctor in a profession reserved for men. The story unfolds against the backdrop of West Point and interwoven themes of states' rights, slavery, Democratic and Republican parties, abolitionists of the North, fire-eaters of the South, the election of Abraham Lincoln, the secession of Southern states, the formation of the Confederacy, the resignations of Southern cadets and officers, the posturings intended to avoid war, and the bombardment and surrender of Fort Sumter on April 14, 1861, that dashed all hopes for peace. Juxtaposed against flash-forwards leading to the climactic ending of the First Battle of Bull Run, the story flashes back to West Point to the idyllic time of August 1860, moving forward to the stark reality of war.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Sông Bé A Legacy of Vietnam is a factually-based narrative told in flashback from a present-day evening concert at the New Orleans Orpheum Theater. It features a fit, world-renowned architect, Richard Foxworth, a West Point graduate, who reacts to what his wife finds in his old Army footlocker. It triggers long-buried memories of his role as a second lieutenant in the Vietnam War Tet Offensive battle of Sông Bé in 1968, the physical wounds he sustained in the battle, his treatment at Rollingwood Sanitarium for post-traumatic stress, the dream that haunted him nightly after the battle, and the emotional loss of a West Point classmate. Threaded through the story is a history of the American civil rights movement since the 1950s.The factual bases of the story derive from the author's research and experiences as the son of a career Army officer, the first of three brothers to graduate from West Point, a Vietnam War veteran, serving as an Army aviator in the Middle East, as an engineer, the founder of an international consulting company, the Chief Strategy Officer for Ion Power Group LLC, and as an adjunct professor at Southern Methodist University and the United States Military Academy.Born in 1945, a month after V-J Day, he has always seen himself as part of a generation that grew up in a time of great change and hope for a brighter and more equal world, those espousing racial equality being increasingly heard.As to the authenticity of the military and battle elements of the story, as well as to the Battle of Sông Bé specifically, five months after graduating from West Point in June 1967, Rich Adams was one of the first in the Class of 1967 to serve in the Vietnam War and fought in the Battle of Sông Bé on February 18, 1968, during the North Vietnamese Tet Offensive. Prior to deployment to Vietnam to serve with the 101st Airborne Division as a forward observer and fire direction officer for an artillery battery, he shared a barracks room with an African-American lieutenant for Airborne training. The man responded to him at the end of the first week of airborne school as Redman does in Sông Bé when queried by Foxworth if he wanted to go with the guys into Columbus, Georgia, for a few beers and to blow off some steam . it wasn't going to happen.Relevant to the story, Rich Adams served as a Casualty Assistance Officer to a family suffering the loss of a husband and father killed in Vietnam, and prior to resigning from the military in 1974, he administered the race relations program and unit-wide race relations seminars for a major U.S. command in Germany, the 24th Engineer Group, during a time of intense racial unrest within the military.…
