Book excerpt: "I have fought sixty battles and have learnt nothing which I did not know in the beginning..."So said Napoleon Bonaparte, one of the greatest - and perhaps the greatest - military commanders to ever grace a battlefield. Yet how true was this statement? In this ground-breaking new book, military historian Ricky D Phillips tackles exactly this question and lists, for the first time, the entire battlefield career of Napoleon, battle by battle, from the very first to the very last, discussing his tactics, his strategies and compiling the methods by which he waged war in a dazzling career spanning three decades.With each battle laid out in strategic context, along with an easy-to-read grid system for statistics, facts and figures, all compounded with his own fast-paced narrative and with battle maps aplenty, Ricky D Phillips presents a stunning new chapter of Napoleonic history, uncovering the battles of Napoleon piece by piece in a way never before attempted."Sixty Battles" is the first book to cover every single battle in Napoleon's career in depth and detail and is set to become the cornerstone of any Napoleonic library.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sixty Years' War for the Great Lakes contains twenty essays concerning not only military and naval operations, but also the political, economic, social, and cultural interactions of individuals and groups during the struggle to control the great freshwater lakes and rivers between the Ohio Valley and the Canadian Shield. Contributing scholars represent a wide variety of disciplines and institutional affiliations from the United States, Canada, and Great Britain. Collectively, these important essays delineate the common thread, weaving together the series of wars for the North American heartland that stretched from 1754 to 1814. The war for the Great Lakes was not merely a sideshow in a broader, worldwide struggle for empire, independence, self-determination, and territory. Rather, it was a single war, a regional conflict waged to establish hegemony within the area, forcing interactions that divided the Great Lakes nationally and ethnically for the two centuries that followed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if Stalin had signed with the West in 1939? What if the Allies had been defeated on D-Day? What if Hitler had won the war? From the Munich crisis and the dropping of the first atom bomb to Hitler’s declaration of war on the United States and the D-Day landings, historians suggest “what might have been” if key events in World War II had gone differently.

If The Allies Had Fallen is a spirited and terrifying alternate history, and a telling insight into the dramatic possibilities of World War II. Contributors include: Thomas M. Barker, Harold C.

Book excerpt: The border between the United States and Mexico is a no-man’s land. Drugs, guns, and human beings are the cargo of choice in a multi-billion dollar illegal empire dominated by powerful cartels, murderous street gangs, and corrupt government officials. Against them stand the Special Agents of the United States Customs Service—men and women who fight to uphold the law and protect the U.S. on both sides of the border. Terry Kirkpatrick worked one of the toughest jobs in America: a U.S. Customs agent on the border between Arizona and Mexico. He’s seen it all and done more for over twenty years in a job that many officers quit before they make it six months. These are the gritty and graphic true stories of Terry and his fellow “Border Rats” as they patrol America’s modern badlands, where bullets are currency and blood is taken as payment. From the inhuman conditions people suffer under to get onto American soil, to working with blatantly crooked military leaders, to some of the most insane and unbelievable situations ever survived, readers will experience the chaos that has engulfed the U.S. border in the words of a man who has been there. 60 Miles of Border sheds an unsparing light into the life of customs agents, their dealings on the border, the effect on their daily lives—and an unsparing look at one of the most hotly debated and controversial topics in modern America.

Book excerpt: I have written my life story in every detail from a six-foot-by-nine-foot prison cell... I have felt as if I am dissecting a frog in biology class in high school. Many things stand out. Many things are uncovered that have been buried for years. My strengths, my faults, my failures, my desires, my selfishness, and my sinfulness all coming to light, not just to the reader but to myself. Glenn Taylor has had a lot of time to think about the life choices he has made and the consequences of his actions. From behind the bars of a prison floor, he chose to relive those memories with pencil and paper to better understand human nature. After his wife, Phyllis, was brutally murdered, Glenn found solace in drugs and other women. But Glenn knew that there had to be more to this life. He turned to God to find a greater meaning. Even though the other members of his church couldn't see past his physical shortcomings, Glenn knew that God's perfect nature forgives absolutely. Sixty Years in Battle with the Power of the Devil and Still Counting: Part Two recounts Glenn's life from his second wife's murder to two more marriages and finally through his prison sentence for physical assault. Through this memoir, Glenn discovered that the devil is always battling with us, and sometimes it seems as though he is winning. But the war is not yet over. By God's grace we all have the chance to let him take control of our lives and fight the power of evil for us. Pain and sadness can be accompanied by joy and love if we only allow God to bring it into our lives.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The first comprehensive account of the epoch-making Six-Day War, from the author of Ally—now featuring a fiftieth-anniversary retrospective Though it lasted for only six tense days in June, the 1967 Arab-Israeli war never really ended. Every crisis that has ripped through this region in the ensuing decades, from the Yom Kippur War of 1973 to the ongoing intifada, is a direct consequence of those six days of fighting. Writing with a novelist’s command of narrative and a historian’s grasp of fact and motive, Michael B. Oren reconstructs both the lightning-fast action on the battlefields and the political shocks that electrified the world. Extraordinary personalities—Moshe Dayan and Gamal Abdul Nasser, Lyndon Johnson and Alexei Kosygin—rose and toppled from power as a result of this war; borders were redrawn; daring strategies brilliantly succeeded or disastrously failed in a matter of hours. And the balance of power changed—in the Middle East and in the world. A towering work of history and an enthralling human narrative, Six Days of War is the most important book on the Middle East conflict to appear in a generation. Praise for Six Days of War “Powerful . . . A highly readable, even gripping account of the 1967 conflict . . . [Oren] has woven a seamless narrative out of a staggering variety of diplomatic and military strands.”—The New York Times “With a remarkably assured style, Oren elucidates nearly every aspect of the conflict. . . . Oren’s [book] will remain the authoritative chronicle of the war. His achievement as a writer and a historian is awesome.”—The Atlantic Monthly “This is not only the best book so far written on the six-day war, it is likely to remain the best.”—The Washington Post Book World “Phenomenal . . . breathtaking history . . . a profoundly talented writer. . . . This book is not only one of the best books on this critical episode in Middle East history; it’s one of the best-written books I’ve read this year, in any genre.”—The Jerusalem Post “[In] Michael Oren’s richly detailed and lucid account, the familiar story is thrilling once again. . . . What makes this book important is the breadth and depth of the research.”—The New York Times Book Review “A first-rate new account of the conflict.”—The Washington Post “The definitive history of the Six-Day War . . . [Oren’s] narrative is precise but written with great literary flair. In no one else’s study is there more understanding or more surprise.”—Martin Peretz, Publisher, The New Republic “Compelling, perhaps even vital, reading.”—San Jose Mercury News
