"Lord Roberts has written a book that will attract, and indeed has already attracted, a very considerable amount of attention. He and his father spent nearly ninety years in India. Of these almost fifty belong to his father, while the remaining forty-one have been spent there by himself, and cover the periods of the Mutiny and the Second Campaign in Afghanistan, during which he made his own celebrated march from Kabul to Kandahar. The book is essentially a soldier's book, and ought to be read by every young ambitious soldiers who wishes to understand the secret success in the profession of arms."

New York: Greenwood Press, 1992. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xiii, [1], 225, [1] pages. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. No DJ present. This is Greenwood's Contributions in Military Studies, Number 121. Martin secured his M. Phil. and Ph.D. in Military Studies from the University of Manchester. Having focused his energies on a career in the UK public service, he returned to his field of research in 2011, balancing writing with his role as a Strategic Director for a large English city council. The intention of this work is to make clear the foundations upon which the German tactics of the First World War were based and to contrast this with the British system. Such an analysis may provide a guide towards a deeper understanding of the current situation and may allow the British Army to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. More
New York: Ballantine Books, 2001. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xix, [1], 492 pages. Maps. Inscribed by the author on the title page To Eleanor and Friend All the Best! Jeff Shaara July 10, 2001. Book signing slip laid in. DJ is in a plastic sleeve. Jeffrey M. "Jeff" Shaara (born February 21, 1952) is an American novelist, the son of Pulitzer Prize winner Michael Shaara. Jeff followed his father's footsteps, writing historical fiction and documenting the American wars and their most historically relevant characters. In total, Jeff has written fifteen New York Times bestselling novels. The book spans from the Boston Massacre to the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The American Revolution is not merely a story of great battles. The Revolution itself was about not just the power of armies, but the power of a people to decide their own future. This story allows you, the reader, to witness the very birth of our nation through the eyes of the wonderful men and women who by their integrity, sacrifice, and astounding courage caused it to happen. It is a story that belongs to every American. More than a powerful portrait of the people and purpose of the Revolution, Rise to Rebellion is a vivid account of history's most pivotal events. This is the first volume of a two-part story of the American Revolution, as told from the points of view of several of the key participants. This book follows the time line from the first bloodshed in Boston, in March 1770, through the summer of 1776. While the events and the people are real and true to history, this in not what you may have read in high school history class. More
