They are full of hope that soon they will sally forth and give battle to their enemy, thirty four miles away.Or so they think.Battle is less than a few miles away as another army of green and untried soldiers is marching, stealing up upon the Union army's encampment with the Tennessee river at its back and no hope of immediate reinforcement.

In the tradition of Michael Shaara's The Killer Angels and All Quiet on the Western Front, you'll smell the powder and suffer the anguish of loss and understand why soldiers above all else prefer peace to war.Grab the first and penultimate start to a journey through the American Civil War in the western theater and experience the war from the ranks as a soldier.

Wes isn't going to like that idea. So between Miles, Wood Point's evil welcoming committee, and the drill sergeant hottie trainer from hell, I just keep asking myself...How did I end up here?

"Seagirl" by H. L. Blake is a young adult realistic fiction novel with fantasy elements."First: She had not drowned; her mother had. Second: It had been her idea. Third: The secret longing. Hard to explain, impossible to explain really, but even more impossible to stop feeling." Serena's story begins with a death and ends with a choice to live. Her mother has drowned by the story's opening, and Serena blames herself. Her choice remains what she will do now - if she will continue to search for her mother in the depths and darkness, or follow in the wake of her largely absent father, or somehow find her own way back to the surface of light and life. Serena treads water and struggles for survival, fighting for every breath, until an unexpected hand reaches out to help. She is reluctantly won over by the insistent friendship of Dylan and his adopted sister Ellie, whose kindred understanding of grief helps her overcome her own. Weaving through the narrative is a thread of realistic fantasy, the myths of selkies and mermaids hinted at the edges of the story and reflecting the themes of loss and love. In the end, Serena must face her nightmares on a return trip to the ocean she once loved. Only then is she able to fight her way through and make her ultimate decision - to stay, live, love - or leave.

Whispers Through the Veil is a series of poems and prose that have been compiled from John Harrison's personal writings to rekindle the collective imagination of the world as well as to give insight into aspects of life that people do not always consider on a day to day basis. The first book, The Poetic Reality of Love and Loss, is dedicated to the ideas of Love and Loss. Although many may believe that these ideals are separate, they are really two sides of the same coin. One cannot exist without the other and these poems illustrate that through their imagery perfectly.

Many books, fiction and nonfiction alike, purport to probe the inner workings of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. Many attempt to create spine-tingling suspense or allege that America's civilian spy operation has run amok and been infested with rogues and criminals. Not that The Craft We Chose lacks suspense, harrowing encounters, or its own share of villains, but this book is different; it is a straightforward, honest, surprisingly captivating memoir by one of the CIA s most well-known and honored career officers. For more than three decades, Richard L. Holm worked in the agency s Directorate of Operations now the National Clandestine Service the component directly responsible for collecting human intelligence. His assignments took him to seven countries on three continents, and his travels added many more destinations. At almost every turn Holm encountered his share of dangerous characters and situations, including one that nearly ended his life before he turned 30. The Craft We Chose is more than a chronicle of those episodes. It also reveals Holm's private life, his roots and family, his courtship and marriage, and his four daughters, whom he affectionately calls his platoon.
