The title of the book sums it up fairly well with a couple of exceptions. “The Life and Times of Tell and Minnie Maynard and “the Fifteen Children” is several stories , using testimonials, written letters, and history to weave a wonderful narrative about some of the “last pioneers” on Brushy Creek of Pike Conty, Ky. See how they spent their days amidst the rolling hills of the countryside. There was a two-story house. There was a farm of 380 acres. A little church stood beside their home. A family cemetery began to grow from family members who left us too soon. This is the true story of a large family. This is my heritage. I felt compelled to tell their stories as they struggled to survive in this rugged territory. Wow - what a story it is! Meet the Maynards!

Cet ouvrage est une somme de connaissances sur trois sujets intrinsèquement liés les uns aux autres. Tout d'abord, le Corps des Gardiens de la Révolution islamique, une armée au service de la Révolution islamique d'Iran tant redoutée par ses ennemis que méconnue du grand public. Ensuite, l'Axe de la Résistance et ses diverses formations combattantes : le Hezbollâh protecteur du Liban et de ses minorités, ainsi que les « Défenseurs du sanctuaire » et les Hashd al-Sha'bi, ces unités combattantes principalement shî'ites et chrétiennes qui luttèrent contre Dâ'esh. L'auteur y présente également l'épopée yéménite d'Ansârollâh et dresse les portraits de certains combattants pour mieux comprendre l'esprit qui les anime. Enfin, une biographie du général Qâsem Soleimâni présente le parcours d'un homme issu d'un milieu pauvre qui a pu s'élever par l'effort et le mérite pour devenir le commandant de la force Qods.
