Read the first installment from Leo Kessler's infamous fictional series, DOGS OF WAR. It is 1942, and the Vulture's eyes gleamed as he watched the exhausted men crawling up the slope through the slippery mud. The SS Assault Regiment Wotan was training and recuperating after its gruelling struggle in Russia and they were glad to be out of the fray for a bit, but it would not be for long. What none of those men, straining up the grassy slope under the eyes of their commander, knew was that already they had been singled out for a new mission. The German High Command knew that the British would launch an attack on Dieppe and the crucial element was time. There was only one regiment that could be trusted to get there fast enough to defend the vital coastal battery: the Soldiers of Wotan were on the move again. Leo Kessler is the pseudonym of the late writer Charles Whiting. More than three million of his books have been sold worldwide.

Co-winner of the Yad Vashem International Book Prize for Holocaust Research From January 1945, in the last months of the Third Reich, about 250,000 inmates of concentration camps perished on death marches and in countless incidents of mass slaughter. They were murdered with merciless brutality by their SS guards, by army and police units, and often by gangs of civilians as they passed through German and Austrian towns and villages. Even in the bloody annals of the Nazi regime, this final death blow was unique in character and scope. In this first comprehensive attempt to answer the questions raised by this final murderous rampage, the author draws on the testimonies of victims, perpetrators, and bystanders. Hunting through archives throughout the world, Daniel Blatman sets out to explain—to the extent that is possible—the effort invested by mankind’s most lethal regime in liquidating the remnants of the enemies of the “Aryan race” before it abandoned the stage of history. What were the characteristics of this last Nazi genocide? How was it linked to the earlier stages, the slaughter of millions in concentration camps? How did the prevailing chaos help to create the conditions that made the final murderous rampage possible? In its exploration of a topic nearly neglected in the current history of the Shoah, this book offers unusual insight into the workings, and the unraveling, of the Nazi regime. It combines micro-historical accounts of representative massacres with an overall analysis of the collapse of the Third Reich, helping us to understand a seemingly inexplicable chapter in history.

During World War II, Major John J. Mohn served as Captain of the 106th Division, 422nd Infantry, 1st Battalion, HQ Company. He was taken prisoner at the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944, along with 7,000 other men, the second largest surrender of World War II. His story is a unique journey across Europe, as prisoner camps were too full and the German officers were unsure what to do with the prisoners. Mohn was prisoner from December 19, 1944 to May 2, 1945. During these 5 months, he was forced to walk across Germany and Poland totaling 1,200 miles. He was liberated three times, twice being recaptured."He returned to civilian life?but his remarkable experiences in the military never quite left him. Eventually he put words to paper and the result is the book you have before you?one of very few accounts of this type ever to have been published. More than just a narrative of his experiences as a P.O.W., it is a testament to the indomitable spirit of American soldiers and a reminder to all of us of the sacrifices they made to preserve our freedom."?from the Foreword by Edward P. McHughRead this first-person account of the hardships, the terror, the survival, the humor, and the hope of a P.O.W. in Germany during the last days of World War II.

The Forced March from Vietnam to Kentucky by Patrick J. Fitch More than 20 years in the classroom and 16 in the Marine Corps prompted retired gunnery sergeant Patrick J. Fitch to write an ode to the “Boomers” of his generation and the many “Millennials” that followed whom he taught in high school. The vignettes cited within invite the reader to share both the harsh realities of combat that honed his survival skills and enabled him to confront PTSD – not devolve into self-destruction, but make the difficult, necessary adjustment back to “The World.”
