Alexander Mckee - the Great White Elk
Alexander McKee, a mixed-blood British agent, was one of the few individuals in history able to unite Indians and exert unbelievable leadership on their behalf. When the War for Independence broke out between the Colonies and the British, McKee chose to remain loyal to his mother country, and assumed a major role on the American frontier. Because of his selfless devotion to the British and the Native Americans, he forfeited massive real estate and social standing when he left his Pittsburgh mansion to organize Indian raids on the American frontier, for which he was branded a traitor by the Continental Congress. This exciting and well-researched book sheds new light on McKees role in history as he maneuvered British frontier policy and promoted the interests of the beleaguered Native Americans. Its little wonder that the Natives called McKee The Great White Elk.

The Race for the Rhine Bridges
A fascinating and detailed history of the pivotal campaigns that aimed to capture the most significant barrier of World War Two: the Rhine. Perfect for readers of John Toland, Alex Kershaw and Anthony Beevor. Few locations experienced as much conflict as this famous and important river, which bore witness to not one, but three intense battles throughout the course of World War Two. Eyewitness accounts from scores of participants on both sides enable Alexander McKee to create a vivid narrative of blitzkrieg attacks in 1940 that saw Germany's lightning capture of the Arnhem, Nijmegen, and Maas-Waal crossings, the Arnhem disaster in 1944, and the final crossing of the Rhine by British, French, American, and Canadian forces during the war's last year. The Race for the Rhine Bridges is a gripping account of valour, missed opportunities, military mistakes and remarkable heroism in the heat of battle. It provides an outstanding analysis of the Rhine combat zone and the three brutal campaigns that passed over it.
