An “essential addition to serious students’ libraries” detailing the historic military offensive that helped sway the outcome of the American Civil War (Civil War News). In the late summer of 1864, Union General-in-Chief Ulysses S. Grant set one absolutely unconditional goal: to sweep Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley “clean and clear.” His man for the job: Maj. Gen. “Little Phil” Sheridan—a temperamental Irishman who’d proven himself just the kind of scrapper Grant loved. The valley had already played a major part in the war for the Confederacy as both the location of major early victories against Union attacks, and as the route used by the Army of Northern Virginia for its invasion of the North, culminating in the battle of Gettysburg. But when Sheridan returned to the Valley in 1864, the stakes heightened dramatically. For the North, the fragile momentum its war effort had gained by the capture of Atlanta would quickly evaporate. For Abraham Lincoln, defeat in the Valley could mean defeat in the upcoming election. And for the South, its very sovereignty lay on the line. Here, historians Davis and Greenwalt “weave an excellent summary of the campaign that will serve to introduce those new to the Civil War to the events of that ‘Bloody Autumn’ and will serve as a ready refresher for veteran stompers who are heading out to visit those storied fields of conflict” (Scott C. Patchan, author of The Last Battle of Winchester).

The words on the pages of this book will transport the reader from the sun-drenched heat wave in Florida to the awesome glory of Heaven. Autumn arrives in God’s Kingdom during its most peaceful era. She participates in making our Lord’s realm a productive one. Many of her angelic brothers receive Father’s medallion as a reward for their achievements. Everyone seems happy—but one brother demands titles, a crown, and a throne nearest to God’s heart though he did nothing to earn his promotion. His unhappiness grows until he betrays God, gathers supporters, and moves from the Sacred Region to the North. There, he sets up an empire and his reign of terror begins. Autumn and Kaela work undercover in the North as God’s all-seeing eyes and all-hearing ears. They return to the Holy Kingdom where they become saints in Prince Michael’s army. Now, the race is on to stop Lucifer from pursuing his plan to seize Father’s throne. A dungeon is built to house the lawless, but angels are light-loving entities who will perish in the darkness. A sphere is built to house the leaders of the North. Autumn is at God’s side when a bloody altercation ensues between Prince Michael’s saints and northern aggressors that results in Lucifer’s capture and incarceration. And, she is present when Immanuel is introduced to Heaven’s angels. Autumn and the Angel is a faith-based fantasy book that discloses the author’s belief that more than Lucifer’s desire to rule from God’s throne led to his fall from grace. This book is the first installment of Autumn’s adventures in Heaven. The second installment, The Trial of the Great Lucifer, reveals the result of Heaven’s first criminal trial and the events that led to Lucifer’s fall to Hell.

The Blood-Tinted Waters of the Shenandoah available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Decades after the Civil War’s end, Confederate veteran John Alexander Stikeleather reflected on his experiences as a soldier in the 4th North Carolina Infantry. He had served in many engagements during his four years of service, but there was one in particular that Stikeleather believed should “never be forgotten”: Cool Spring. While largely overlooked or treated as a footnote to Gen. Jubal A. Early’s raid on Washington in the summer of 1864, the fight at Cool Spring, which one soldier characterized as “a sharp and obstinate affair,” proved critical to Washington’s immediate safety. The virtually unknown combat became a transformative moment for those who fought along the banks of the Shenandoah River in what ultimately became the war’s largest and bloodiest engagement in Clarke County, Virginia. The Blood-Tinted Waters of the Shenandoah examines Gen. Horatio Wright’s pursuit of Jubal Early into the Shenandoah and the clash on July 17–18, 1864. It analyzes the decisions of leaders on both sides, explores the environment’s impact on the battle, and investigates how the combat impacted the soldiers and their families—in its immediate aftermath and for decades thereafter. Years of archival research—including an investigation into the backgrounds of the Union and Confederate soldiers who perished in the fighting—coupled with intimate knowledge of the battlefield helps preserve the memory of the fight that should “never be forgotten.” Author Jonathan Noyalas’s study offers not only a history of an overlooked engagement in the oft-contested Shenandoah Valley, but—as Pulitzer Prize finalist Brian Matthew Jordan notes in the book’s Foreword—“a keen reminder that Civil War battles are rich laboratories in which to observe the human experience in all its complexity.”

This book was released on 2019-08-15. The Red Years available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Though North Korea holds the attention of the world, it is still rare for us to hear North Korean voices, beyond those few who have escaped. Known only by his pen name, the poet and author ‘Bandi’ stands as one of the most distinctive and original dissident writers to emerge from the country, and his work is all the more striking for the fact that he continues to reside in North Korea, writing in secret, with his work smuggled out of the country by supporters and relatives. The Red Years represents the first collection of Bandi’s poetry to be made available in English. As he did in his first work The Accusation, Bandi here gives us a rare glimpse into everyday life and survival in North Korea. Singularly poignant and evocative, The Red Years stands as a testament to the power of the human spirit to endure and resist even the most repressive of regimes.
