Narrative of the Eventful Life of Thomas Jackson
Thomas Jackson's autobiography provides a colorful account of his experiences as a militiaman, Coldstreamer, and Chelsea pensioner. Son of a Walsall bucklemaker, Jackson joined the Staffordshire Militia aged 17 and spent a decade on home service, much of it passed at Windsor Castle and Weymouth guarding King George III.

Marine Recruit
Marine Recruit: Tears in the Sand is an epic novel of a Marine Corps boot camp (San Diego); a compelling, unabridged account of recruit training as told by the drill instructor. Author of chronicles of a marine rifleman, retired first sergeant, Herb Brewer, USMC, now brings to life this outstanding, all-encompassing, witty, honest, caringly brutal, human, and timeless narrative. Combining two stories into one, he takes you all the way from the grueling view of the recruit to the panoramic mission and perspective of the Drill Instructor. At MCRD, you can count on two things: the recruit is green, the marine drill instructor is legendary. First Sergeant Brewer captures the essence and awareness of what it means to be both. Marine Recruit is a rare and unparalleled look into MCRD. Enter now the revered birthplace of the Marines where every drill instructor was once a recruit.

Walk Along the Rhine
Picture it, Germany, 1942, toward the end of World War II. Major Helen Travis, a young American Army nurse, has been chosen by an unknown person to be killed. Reason? He or she could be jealous of Major Travis’s ability to take command of critical situations, dealing with them with dedication, determination, and compassion. Then again, it could be as simple as the unknown person’s mission to rid the world of one more woman. Perhaps the unknown person has no reason at all. Major Travis endures being captured by the Germans as well as being tortured almost to the point of death. Is this part of the unknown person’s plot to be rid of her? Does she survive the torture at the hands of the Germans only to be killed by an evil person? Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to read the book and find out. If you choose to accept this mission, you’ll be giving Major Travis the encouragement she needs to survive, and you’ll also be enabling her best friend, Major Riley Dunkirk, an Australian physician, a chance to become the knight in shining armor that charges in and saves the day . . . and also gives him a chance to sweep the girl away.
