A Destiny of Undying Greatness
Author: Mark M. Trapp
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781733171229
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 734
Book Description
"I want to live now more than I ever did in my life but not from the selfish standpoint. This war has taught me many things and now I want to live to do whatever good is possible. But if I am killed anytime in the war I will not be afraid to die, and you may know that I will die like a man should, feeling that it is the greatest death that a man can die." - Kiffin RockwellFor more than two and a half years the example of Kiffin Rockwell and other idealistic American boys fighting on behalf of France shone like a beacon across the Atlantic Ocean, summoning America to take part in the ongoing struggle for civilization. Kiffin and a handful of other like-minded young men were intent on paying their portion of America's debt to Lafayette who, acting on similar impulses and ideals, had crossed the ocean more than a century before to assist America in its fight for independence.First in the trenches as volunteers with the French Foreign Legion, and then in the skies among the world's first fighter pilots, the unbelievable courage and voluntary sacrifice of these boys drew the attention of the world and galvanized American public opinion on the side of France. Played out against the almost unfathomable carnage of the war, the sinking of the Lusitania and the presidential election of 1916, this book sheds new light on the unforgettable true account of Kiffin and the other "boys who remembered Lafayette." Eventually, more than a million U.S. soldiers would cross the Atlantic to help save France. All of them followed in the footsteps of Kiffin Rockwell.Mark M. Trapp is a lawyer in Chicago. This is his first book.www.undyinggreatness.com

Alexander
Author: Guy Maclean Rogers
Publisher: Random House Trade Paperbacks
ISBN: 9780812972719
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 468
Book Description
For nearly two and a half millennia, Alexander the Great has loomed over history as a legend–and an enigma. Wounded repeatedly but always triumphant in battle, he conquered most of the known world, only to die mysteriously at the age of thirty-two. In his day he was revered as a god; in our day he has been reviled as a mass murderer, a tyrant as brutal as Stalin or Hitler. Who was the man behind the mask of power? Why did Alexander embark on an unprecedented program of global domination? What accounted for his astonishing success on the battlefield? In this luminous new biography, the esteemed classical scholar and historian Guy MacLean Rogers sifts through thousands of years of history and myth to uncover the truth about this complex, ambiguous genius. Ascending to the throne of Macedonia after the assassination of his father, King Philip II, Alexander discovered while barely out of his teens that he had an extraordinary talent and a boundless appetite for military conquest. A virtuoso of violence, he was gifted with an uncanny ability to visualize how a battle would unfold, coupled with devastating decisiveness in the field. Granicus, Issos, Gaugamela, Hydaspes–as the victories mounted, Alexander’s passion for conquest expanded from cities to countries to continents. When Persia, the greatest empire of his day, fell before him, he marched at once on India, intending to add it to his holdings. As Rogers shows, Alexander’s military prowess only heightened his exuberant sexuality. Though his taste for multiple partners, both male and female, was tolerated, Alexander’s relatively enlightened treatment of women was nothing short of revolutionary. He outlawed rape, he placed intelligent women in positions of authority, and he chose his wives from among the peoples he conquered. Indeed, as Rogers argues, Alexander’s fascination with Persian culture, customs, and sexual practices may have led to his downfall, perhaps even to his death. Alexander emerges as a charismatic and surprisingly modern figure–neither a messiah nor a genocidal butcher but one of the most imaginative and daring military tacticians of all time. Balanced and authoritative, this brilliant portrait brings Alexander to life as a man, without diminishing the power of the legend.
