Surprisingly little known, the Polish-Soviet War of 1919-20 was to change the course of twentieth-century history. In White Eagle, Red Star, Norman Davies gives a full account of the War, with its dramatic climax in August 1920 when the Red Army - sure of victory and pledged to carry the Revolution across Europe to 'water our horses on the Rhine' - was crushed by a devastating Polish attack. Since known as the 'miracle on the Vistula', it remains one of the most decisive battles of the Western world. Drawing on both Polish and Russian sources, Norman Davies illustrates the narrative with documentary material which hitherto has not been readily available and shows how the War was far more an 'episode' in East European affairs, but largely determined the course of European history for the next twenty years or more.
Cottonwood, an Observation is based on the lifetime of a cottonwood tree and the things seen by him over an eighty-five-year period from 1842 until the end of WWI. He watches the development of the country around him, from pristine prairie, the time of the Buffalo and the Indian, through the settlement and development of a city nearly under his branches. Cottonwood becomes intimately involved in the lives of the main characters of the book from what he sees and hears from his point of observation above the Sweetwater River, in the developing state of Wyoming. He observes the wars of the era, the medical developments of those years, the passing of the Indian, the coming and the passing of the Pony Express. He watches as the telegraph, telephone, and the railroad come into his part of the world. He becomes intimately involved in the stories of those passing his post. He inspires introspection into our personal lives by his constant attempt to analyze the actions of human beings, their sometimes peaceful and sometimes deadly interactions with one another. He records the stories of the lives of those fleeing the confusion and discord of Europe as they search for opportunity in the New World. We watch, through the eyes of Cottonwood, as a woman in Appalachia struggles, with an iron will, to break the bonds and stereotyping of ignorant mountain women. Cottonwood observes as the love of two men bring salvation to an incorrigible Indian warrior. He watches as love heals the broken lives of two WWI survivors and catalogs those things he has seen, felt, and questioned. The fact that freedom, dreams, love, and courage overcome every obstacle is the true conclusion of Cottonwoods narrative. Cottonwood, the observer, makes us take a critical look at ourselves, our actions, our motives, and why we are here. Cottonwood, the book, makes us look at our nation and why this unique place called America and its God-given freedoms are here. He leaves us with the fervent hope that we will continue to deserve and appreciate those blessings and benefits that only Americans enjoy.
The Protector is a deceptively simple tale of JD Williams and the summer he turns fourteen. It is a roller-coaster ride of action, suspense, emotion, love, and family values that will make you cheer, cry, hold your breath, and feel the chill of death's icy fingers. Each page will pull you in. You will feel as if you are right there in the middle of every heart-stopping turn. JD's story will come to life right before your very eyes. You won't be able to put it down. It is set in present-day rural Colorado on a ten-thousand-acre cattle ranch that has been in the family for four generations. Filled with history, change, beauty, and love of family along with the love of the land, it could not be more perfect for the summer at hand. *** It is a summer of firsts for JD. His first kiss. His first time as a real ranch hand. His first time competing against his own father in a rodeo, and it will be the first time JD will face death square in the face-as a bloodthirsty enemy returns to exact his revenge on the men who work this land. JD is growing up fast. Nevertheless, will it be fast enough to face this enemy and protect those he loves most? JD's close family ties will help shape the young man he is to become, but they also elicit many mixed emotions. With the help of Red Eagle, a Native American and close family friend, JD learns how important nature is and that nature speaks to us in many ways if we just look and listen. However, the relationship between father and son is the most troubling and the most touching. JD's father has no idea how high on a pedestal his son has placed him. John is a loving father but also a proud man, and he is not quite ready for his son to grow up. He is having a real problem with the lack of father-and-son time that he is accustomed. To top it all off, now his son is preparing to compete against him. Yet in the back of his mind, he knows the day will come when his son will replace him, just as he had replaced his father.
