Book Description
Rev. John (the Martyr) Rogers is a pivotal character in European and Christian history. A former Catholic priest then adherent of the Reformation after studying with colleagues of Martin Luther, he becomes entangled in the political-religious turmoil of the Tudor family on the throne of England. A father of eleven with a Flemish-born wife, his firm belief in the need to read the Bible in the vernacular and the priesthood of all believers emboldened him not to recant to save his own life. In the presence of his entire family he was led to the execution pyre in the flames of which he appeared to wash his hands as he gave up his spirit.

Relentless
Author: Ted Rogers
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 1443431478
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
From his earliest days buying Canada’s first FM radio station, CHFI, to developing Rogers Cable, Media and Wireless, Relentless tells the true story of the man who stood alone among Canada’s all-time business giants. Relentless is the amazing story of a young man who overcame the early death of his father—which cost the family a burgeoning radio business—to establish and nurture one of the biggest communications companies in North America. Relentless, published mere weeks before Ted Rogers’ death in late 2008, is filled with back-room deals, on-air battles and the often outrageous exploits of an extraordinary entrepreneur. The book made headlines coast to coast when it was first published, and Rogers’ passing spawned tributes in newspapers, as well as on radio, TV and the Internet, in Canada and around the world.

War on the Run
Author: John F. Ross
Publisher: Bantam
ISBN: 0553384570
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 578
Book Description
Often hailed as the godfather of today’s elite special forces, Robert Rogers trained and led an unorthodox unit of green provincials, raw woodsmen, farmers, and Indian scouts on “impossible” missions in colonial America that are still the stuff of soldiers’ legend. The child of marginalized Scots-Irish immigrants, Rogers learned to survive in New England’s dark and deadly forests, grasping, as did few others, that a new world required new forms of warfare. John F. Ross not only re-creates Rogers’s life and his spectacular battles with breathtaking immediacy and meticulous accuracy, but brings a new and provocative perspective on Rogers’s unique vision of a unified continent, one that would influence Thomas Jefferson and inspire the Lewis and Clark expedition. Rogers’s principles of unconventional war-making would lay the groundwork for the colonial strategy later used in the War of Independence—and prove so compelling that army rangers still study them today. Robert Rogers, a backwoods founding father, was heroic, admirable, brutal, canny, ambitious, duplicitous, visionary, and much more—like America itself.
