Early look at PTSD

Revisado: 07-17-20

Everyone has seen the Stallone franchise, but they don't know Rambo until they read where his story originated! Wonderfully written as a prose of thought between Rambo and Teasle, up until the climatic, heart-breaking end. This is an early attempt to understand what we now know as PTSD, and what the atrocities of war can do to the psyche of a human soul. Brutal, sometimes funny, but overall very well-written and wonderfully narrated! A must read for any military or historical fiction fan!

WWII geeks will enjoy it

Revisado: 03-14-20

Wow. A lot of info to soak up and it was tedious at times but for a WWII-obssessed freak like me, it was enthralling. We all know Hitler, his hate, his delusions of grandeur...and how Nazi Germany came to reflect him as a person. This book touched on him only in association with all the moving parts of his inner circle, the SS, and German psyche, culture, and history in the eyes of those who lived and died under the Third Reich.

Must read for ALL Westerners!

Revisado: 06-26-19

A terrifying but terrifyingly accurate account of the very real animosity Islam possess of us Westerners, particularly Christians. Want to be enlightened about what is really going on, read Sword and Scimitar!

Old habits die hard

Revisado: 01-01-19

The Last Manhunt is probably my favorite western tale written. Taking place at the end of the frontier near the dawn of the 20th century, this story is expertly narrated by Tom Stechschulte. Ransom March is a has-been, and he knows it. In his 50s, his glory days are well behind him, and even though dime novels have made him out to be a hero that never existed, he agrees to be interviewed by a young newspaper journalist and stalwart follower of those extraordinary tales of "Ransom March: Prince of the Plains." This journalist is sorely disappointed to learn that Rance is not the gallant gunfighter in his boyhood storybooks. But he also learns that Ransom March was exactly the man needed to tame the frontier, a man as coldblooded and gun handy as the outlaws he pursued. Perfectly written with a touch of psychosis in the villain known as the Gravedigger, this story is hilarious when appropriate, brutal when needed, and paints a picture of the west as it was: violent, unforgiving, and hard to kill.

Incredible story of human endurance

Revisado: 01-01-19

This dark, gruesome tale is probably one of my favorite westerns ever written, and I've read most every western written. This story is about human endurance, perseverance, and explores the depths of a man's soul even as he is dying. Marshal Asher Thrall is a good man, dealt a horrible hand by fate. An enemy puts a bullet in his chest but it doesn't kill him. It brings out a desire to do good with the time he has left, though to onlookers it may seem like cold-blooded justice. Funny, cynical, and existential, this tale is set against the lawless height of the frontier, a time as wild and unforgiving as the men who lived there. Amazing story, and a must read for any western-lover. George Guidall is one helluva narrator, capturing Ash's raw emotion and grit as he fights to stay alive to rid the world of bad men.

Beautifully read and very insightful

Revisado: 04-11-18

Insightful, daring, and beautifully read, Red looks at the history, science, and mysticism of us gingers in a way not seen before. Full of humor, heart, and with sources both in biology and popular culture, the novel delves into the most radiant hair color and the author herself gives the spoken words just enough personality to keep you hooked without being boorish. Highly recommended for any scholar, student...or fellow redhead curious about our origins and what makes our locks so unique.
