Book Description
It's the year 2041. Six women represent America's best hope for survival. Organized into three two-person crews, they man three prototype assault tanks built for the U.S. Military. These prototypes, in field test, survived a cascade of political events that led to complete destruction of the Earth. These six women represent the last vestige of order and civilization in a world that no longer has either. However, they are not the only surviving power. Nor are they the only ones fighting for control. Instead they have become the last defenders of all who survive in a world where there is no one else left to turn. Yes, they are the Last Defenders. Never has so much depended on so few.

The Last Defenders of the Laager
Author: Dickson Mungazi [Deceased]
Publisher: Praeger
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
When the Afrikaners (Boers) migrated northward from the Cape to escape British rule, they enountered the Zulu people. To protect their claims, the Boers formed the laager, a circle of wagons. As years passed, the laager acquired wider political dimensions and became a symbol of Afrikaner determination to survive under hostile conditions. Ian D. Smith, last colonial leader of Zimbabwe from 1964 to 1979, and F. W. de Klerk, the last white president of South Africa from 1988 to 1994, were the last defenders of the laager on the African continent. Rising nationalism and the devastation of civil war would eventually force these leaders to abandon the colonial systems that they had inherited from their predecessors. The study details the origins and development of the laager system in Africa. It discusses how and why previously successful tactics to maintain the system would fail amidst the rising African nationalism of the late 20th century. The focus of each of the eight chapters alternates between Smith and de Klerk and examines the efforts of each to overcome unanticipated challenges.

Exodus from the Alamo
Author: Phillip Thomas Tucker
Publisher: Casemate
ISBN: 1935149520
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
The award-winning historian provides a provocative new analysis of the Battle of the Alamo—including new information on the fate of Davy Crockett. Contrary to legend, we now know that the defenders of the Alamo during the Texan Revolution died in a merciless predawn attack by Mexican soldiers. With extensive research into recently discovered Mexican accounts, as well as forensic evidence, historian Phillip Tucker sheds new light on the famous battle, contending that the traditional myth is even more off-base than we thought. In a startling revelation, Tucker uncovers that the primary fights took place on the plain outside the fort. While a number of the Alamo’s defenders hung on inside, most died while attempting to escape. Capt. Dickinson, with cannon atop the chapel, fired repeatedly into the throng of enemy cavalry until he was finally cut down. The controversy surrounding Davy Crockett still remains, though the recently authenticated diary of the Mexican Col. José Enrique de la Peña offers evidence that he surrendered. Notoriously, Mexican Pres. Gen. Antonio López de Santa Anna burned the bodies of the Texans who had dared stand against him. As this book proves in thorough detail, the funeral pyres were well outside the fort—that is, where the two separate groups of escapees fell on the plain, rather than in the Alamo itself.
