The End of an Era

Battle of New Market, Virginia:
This book is based on a speech by John Sergeant Wise, a veteran of the Battle of New Market, Virginia, in which he took part as a Virginia Military Institute Cadet. In this address, made at VMI May 13, 1882, Wise describes the battle in first person, which is subjective, poignant, and even humorous in part. By reading the personal narrative, one can indeed feel oneself on the field of combat as an untried soldier determined to win the day. The address has been supplemented by the editor with footnotes, annotations, and illustrations. Brief biographies of the combatants, John C. Breckinridge and Franz Sigel are given as well as commentary on Sigel's involvement in the radical European Revolutions of 1848. A list of the VMI cadets in the Battle of New Market is given along with information concerning what happened to them after the war.

In the book's detailed prose, the various...
Do You Think That's Wise?
Best known for Dads Army in which his Sergeant Wilson played the languid rakish foil to Arthur Lowes pompous chippy Captain Mainwaring, John Le Mesurier was one of Britains favourite and most recognisable character actors.

Their extraordinary tale unfurls the severe toll of the Afghan war, particularly on a single family, underscoring the profound significance of the sacrifice and the indomitable resilience of a family's courage. While serving in Afghanistan, US Navy SEAL veteran and CIA contractor Jeremy Wise was killed in an al Qaeda sui...
