To achieve final victory, the British government was forced to depend not only on its Regular Army but also on a large volunteer force. This book spotlights Britain's "citizen army" to show who these volunteers were, why they enlisted, how they were trained--and how they quickly became disillusioned when they found themselves committed not to the supposed glories of conventional battle but instead to a...

Hay muchas razones por las que es dificil vivir en semejanza a Cristo en un mundo que vive como el Diablo. Para comenzar, la conducta - sea buena o mala - es contagiosa. No parece, acaso, que hay mucha mas gente mala que buena? Vivir como Cristo es, ademas, una tarea dificil porque no siempre sabemos lo que El querria que hicieramos.
