Limey Smokejumper: Fighting wildfire in the Rockies
ISBN: 9781480129252 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Smokejumpers have over the years been the subject of much media attention, from National Geographic to Playboy to some ridiculous movies. The results in each only portray one side; fire. There is a lot more to becoming a smokejumper, however, and a lot more to staying one. Not only physically, financially, from getting laid-off every year, but from withstanding the constant barrage of a burdensome bureaucracy. This is not a sensationalized account. This is real, warts and all. Because of that, you may very well not like it. The primary star in this world, though, is not the jumper or the...

A Western: 1864-65
ISBN: 9781522742630 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 446 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Outside, the world was stirring. Through the misty windows a new sun was widening the sky from the dark purple of twilight and turning the base of long fingers of rippled clouds to deep red. But forty miles to the north the ripples of red were from rivers of blood. In the middle of a frosty field pleasantly tinted by wood smoke, and rising high above Black Kettle's lodge on a tall angular tepee pole, an impotent American flag hung limp at dawn. Its presence was meant to afford protection to those camped near it; a suggestion holding a promise of Fort Lyon's commandant. But instead, it...

Churchill's Gold: The Ripples of War
ISBN: 9781479388998 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In March 1941, nine months before America entered the Second World War, President Roosevelt sent a battleship to collect a shipment of gold bullion from South Africa as part of the 'cash & carry' agreement between a beleaguered Great Britain and an isolationist United States Government. An agreement that, through Roosevelt's pressure in enabling the 1939 Neutrality Act, allowed the United States to sell war materiel to Great Britain and its allies. But the system was bankrupting the British Government by having to pay for everything it was using to sustain the war. Churchill said, "we are not...

A Western: 1863-64
ISBN: 9781500756642 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 378 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Bitterness had seeped to the depths of the nation, both North and South, cleaving apart those who had participated in the great struggle from those who had not. The early vigor that had captivated much of the people, on either side, had since worn thin. The continent's youth, the Union's future, initially clamoring to the clever speeches of politicians, eager for duty, and in search of glory, found nothing to substantiate that beguiling political rhetoric once on the battlefield. There, many knew they had been duped as they watched row upon row of their friends and comrades scythed down like...

Inside The Great Game
ISBN: 9781466313521 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The Great Game continues. In its long and bloody history there have been periods of relative peace and tremendous violence. Through all, the subtle intrigue remained, only coming to the fore when national interests are at stake, as is the case now; with one major superpower vying for influence against many smaller nations, rich and poor, for the only truly valuable commodity currently left in the world. Oil. For this, countries still send their soldiers. But now under the guise of consultants and advisors instead of travelers and tradesmen. The present struggle is no longer strictly limited...

A Western: 1862-63
ISBN: 9781490439860 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Displaced persons from both sides of the Civil War were arriving to the West in droves, as were deserters, the walking wounded and the downcast limbless. With them, mostly came hope, but also, with some, came the cheapness of life. Two years of bloody strife had whittled away the inherent kindness of many ordinary folk, who remained generally good in heart but had developed an untrusting character as a safeguard. But to others the unbridled, unashamed butchery of this caustic war between cousins just compounded their already miserable existence. So while some rode west in rickety covered...
