5 out of 5 stars Another Great Book From Kay Hooper!.......2006-03-07

I've read a number of Kay Hooper's books, and this one is just as great as every other one I've read. It's got the same elements are the other works that I loved, the romance, the suspense, the action, et cetera. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. I read the whole book in less than 8 hours. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who has ever read anything else that Kay Hooper has written!

    Book Description

    Winner of the Bancroft Prize: Through a gripping narrative based on massive new research, a leading historian reshapes our understanding of the Civil War.

    Our standard Civil War histories tell a reassuring story of the triumph, in an inevitable conflict, of the dynamic, free-labor North over the traditional, slave-based South, vindicating the freedom principles built into the nation's foundations.

    But at the time, on the borderlands of Pennsylvania and Virginia, no one expected war, and no one knew how it would turn out. The one certainty was that any war between the states would be fought in their fields and streets.

    Edward L. Ayers gives us a different Civil War, built on an intimate scale. He charts the descent into war in the Great Valley spanning Pennsylvania and Virginia. Connected by strong ties of every kind, including the tendrils of slavery, the people of this borderland sought alternatives to secession and war. When none remained, they took up war with startling intensity. As this book relays with a vivid immediacy, it came to their doorsteps in hunger, disease, and measureless death. Ayers's Civil War emerges from the lives of everyday people as well as those who helped shape history—John Brown and Frederick Douglass, Lincoln, Jackson, and Lee. His story ends with the valley ravaged, Lincoln's support fragmenting, and Confederate forces massing for a battle at Gettysburg. 26 illustrations, 1 map.

    5 out of 5 stars The Civil War on a personal level.......2007-10-05

    Most Civil War books concentrate on the battles fought; Edward L. Ayers, in this superb account of the War in the eastern theatre from the election of 1860 to Gettysburg, focuses on the consequences of not only the major battles but also the politics and motivations of the citizens of two near-border counties - Augusta in Virginia and Franklin in Pennsylvania. Using contemporary newspapers and diaries, Ayers reveals how the border inhabitants from these two counties interpreted Lincoln's election, thought about slavery as the major issue of the war, supplied recruits, and responded to the results of battles and strategies waged by their leaders. It's interesting to see how many Augustans were Unionists at the time of the election, even after Lincoln was nominated, but had turned "Yankee haters" by the end of 1862 as they saw their property destroyed by Federal soldiers as the war raged on Virginia soil.

    Ayers writes extremely well and in the early pages is able to create a great deal of suspense: the book is a real page-turner. A couple of places he leaves the reader wondering, though: after spending over 30 pages on the 1860 election and revealing certain poll returns, he never says how many Augustans voted for Lincoln (any?) or how many Franklinites voted for Bell or Breckinridge, the two Southern candidates. Also he tells the story of a free black man named Frank Jones who is attacked by Union soldiers in Chambersburg and murdered in broad daylight, but not what, if anything, happened to the guilty soldiers afterwards.

    The book ends with the Battle of Gettysburg about to begin, and one wonders whether Ayers plans a second volume taking the reader to the end of the war. How Augustans and Franklinites responded to Sheridan's destructive 1864 Valley campaign and the burning of Chambersburg (also in 1864) would be of major interest. One hopes he does. In the meantime, this is an excellent account of how the earlier stages of the Civil War personally affected inhabitants of two border counties, North and South.

    4 out of 5 stars Up and Down the Valley.......2007-07-25

    I've had the book for so long I didn't know by whom it was given. I don't believe I bought it and it took me a long time to find the time to read it. It is VERY interesting. For one thing, I'm a resident of Staunton and a former member of a descendent unit if the 5th Virginia Infantry and the Stonewall Brigade. The history of the Civil War is part and parcel of living here. But I'm also a native of upstate New York and my family's stories of their part in the ACW have also been prominent in my life. To read what I've heard as a sort of verbal record of the times was quite interesting. As an amateur genealogist I must also note that many of the families mentioned in the Staunton and Augusta County portions of the book are still here and some are still influential in the community.

    However, there are differences of opinion. For example, the author seems to believe that slavery was a cause of the conflict. Most Staunton locals seem to think that it was only one point of conflict/discussion that was part of the broader states' rights arguments of the time. I always found it interesting that although there was slavery here the area was strongly pro-Union right up until the firing on Fort Sumter. There was a degree of dissatisfaction with the Virginia Commonwealth government as well which goes unmentioned but this part of the state was not nearly as disaffected as the counties that became West Virginia. The railroads and one less mountain barrier is what made the difference. For more on that, read "Rebels at the Gates" by W. Hunter Lesser.

    All in all, this book is a good first effort in this series and a worthy addition to any library focused on the Civil War. I think it likely to be a necessary addition to local libraries in the Staunton, VA and Chambersburg, PA areas as well.

    4 out of 5 stars Good but not great.......2007-01-27

    First off, Ayers' book has won two of the most prestigious prizes that can be awarded by the American historical profession: the 2004 Bancroft Prize and the American Historical Association's Albert J. Beveridge Award. Ayers writes well, and in any case, an author would have to be an unusual bungler to write a totally boring book about the American Civil War. Nevertheless, although this is a good book, it is not a great one.

    Ayers describes the conflict through the stories of two counties in the Great Valley, one in Pennsylvania and the other in Virginia, based on one of the earliest history websites, the Valley of the Shadow Project hosted by the University of Virginia. Many things can be learned about the home front of the Civil War through such a study, although they are not necessarily the things that the author intends the reader to learn.

    For instance, Ayers offers repeated examples of obtuse newspaper commentary on the War, including seemingly logical but totally erroneous predictions about the effects of the Emancipation Proclamation. One can almost predict that when journalists are quoted, they will be quoted as saying something dumb. It is hard to imagine an academic history of a more recent war in which the media could be so thoroughly derided.

    Nevertheless, there are weaknesses to writing a local treatment of national history. For one thing, the big picture has to be worked in around the story of the two counties because major action frequently takes place off-stage. Ayers also introduces many people to his readers, but few are treated at the sort of length that makes them rounded individuals. (Jedediah Hotchkiss, Lee's mapmaker, is an exception.)

    Usually I either read histories quickly or give them up, but Ayers I read slowly. Like eating my vegetables, I knew reading Ayers' book was good for me. But it's no page-turner.

    5 out of 5 stars 10 starts! One of the most unique books on the civil war yet.......2006-12-14

    If you are looking for a truly unique perspective on the civil war this is it. This takes a look at two counties one in the north and one in the south and gives a perspective of how the civil war took shape. It chronicles the start of the war and gives an excellent sense of what happened in the north and the south. It is really the perspective on the south that gives the best example and although this is part one of two (two is unpublished at this time) there is no other history like it. If you are a true civil war buff this is a must read. There is very little literature on the southern perspective of the war and Ed Ayers is looking to fill that gap.

    5 out of 5 stars The Most Brilliant Civil War History Ever Put On Paper!.......2005-12-21

    Without doubt, this is the most brilliant civil war history of have ever been printed! You can go on reading Shelby Foote, etc., but you'll never see the war as it was until you've read Ayers! Ayer's is, thankfully, the future of historical studies in academia!

    1 out of 5 stars Harry Turtledove wrote this?.......2007-05-26

    sorry Harry..... this particular piece just isn't what i have come to expect of you.

    i felt like i was reading a romance novel about people who like to play cards.

    oh and it just so happened that these folks were "hiding inside a society that condemns them"

    it was a real struggle to get thru this, and i am sorry i spent the time to read it all the way thru. i will probably be a little gunshy about picking up another Turtledove book for a while

    5 out of 5 stars A new twist on a well-worn theme.......2007-03-16


    Almost every talented science fiction writer has been unable to resist at least a short-story about the ghastly question of what the world would have been like if Hitler had won WWII.

    The first chapter or so of this book was originally written as a short story, and was first published some years ago in one of Turtledove's short story collections. Turtledove has now extended the short story into a full length novel.

    Until now, far and away the best "What if the nazis had won" story was "Fatherland" by Robert Harris, but "In the presence of mine enemies" is in the same class. Harris has the edge in the meticulous quality of his research and the historical detail which made his novel chillingly believable: Turtledove wins points for his grasp of the sweep of history and how a fascist regime might have had to cope with the same pressures which a changing world presented to other totalitarian regimes.

    And in telling his story through the eyes of a small group of Jews who have survived by posing as Aryans, he brings home to you what it must have been like to be a Jew hiding in the 1000 year Reich, knowing that one mistake would doom not just yourself but every member of your family.

    Turtledove does not forget the seriousness of the subject - the book is dedicated to people who "helped ensure that this is alternate history" - but he displays a wicked sense of humour in suggesting what positions certain real-world modern politicians might have held in a world run by the nazis. One of the characters in the story is the chairman of the British Union of Fascists, Mosley's party, which has effectively become the British wing of the Nazi party. A certain very prominent real world British politican of about the same age and description has the name of this character as his middle names. (If you don't realise who it is, Google the name of the character in the book and the name of one of George W Bush's closest allies will come up.)

    He also has fun creating the Nazi equivalents of Gorbachov and Boris Yeltsin ...

    One of Harry Turtledove's other books was criticised as containing the same events as real history but with different actors. There's some truth in that, and the point certainly does apply to this book. However, even though most people will spot the parallels, Turtledove leaves you uncertain until almost the last page whether things will turn out the same way as happened to a certain totalitarian empire in real history. I couldn't put this book down.

    4 out of 5 stars A Great Mix .......2006-08-16

    I had been getting a little tired of Turtledove's work recently, phrases repeated, similar plots, but I think he has returned to his better early works.
    I loved the story of a Jewish family hiding and the many concessions they had to make to their own faith to survive.
    And I also loved the way the author retold the Gorbachev/Yeltsin years. It made me realize how lucky Russia was with the way things turned out. (Too bad Russia looks to be slipping back.)

    3 out of 5 stars Everything that's good - and bad - about Turtledove.......2006-08-13

    As usual, Harry Turtledove has taken an interesting premise and filled it out nicely. The characters he creates are well-developed, and he exhibits his characteristic ability to make a compelling alternate reality, with a story that opens years after the pivotal event (the success of Nazi Germany in WWII) which makes it "alternate".
    This story is about an interconnected group of Jews who live in Berlin in the early 21st century, some 60 years after the end of the war. They live in secret, blending in but observing a minimal subset of Judaism to keep their culture alive. And believe me, you can't miss this point, because it's brought up every few paragraphs, in thought bubbles above every Jewish character's head.
    Here's an example: Jewish character "A" is being pursued romantically by the German wife of his best friend, German character "B", neither of whom know "A" is Jewish, of course. After thinking for a moment about how nice it might be, he declines because he loves his wife too much, and because he doesn't want to lose his friend. "If 'B' found out we were sleeping together", he thinks, "he'd really do something rash". Then he goes on: "and if he found out my REAL secret, he'd do something more than rash."
    We get it, A: you're walking the razor's edge as a Jew in Nazi Berlin, and every decision you make has to be weighed in light of keeping that secret.
    If you can handle the repetiveness of this, the story is really quite good. The various ways the Jews keep under cover is interesting, and it's intriguing to see how even Nazi Germany can change with time, mellowing in some respects but keeping some features very alive.

    4 out of 5 stars My first Turtledove book but it won't be my last.......2006-08-09

    This book has been a fun read for me. This is not the BEST book ever written but it is a great story and Turtledove knows how to pull you in and make you think. An enjoyable read.

    1 out of 5 stars Kathy needs to grow up and act her age!.......2005-10-09

    I usually enjoy Mckenna's books but this was a real loser. For 53 pages Kathy whined and cried about hurting because she was telling her family goodbye for the last time. Not once did she worry about how they would feel if she went off and got herself killed in some dumb attempt to get revenge based on some miguided paranoia over criminal acts against her family that happened 23 years ago when she was four years old and the person responsible has been dead all of those years. The only person as dumb as she obviously was in trying to kidnap a little girl to "get revenge" was the Seal commander who let her do it and covered for her. Sheesh, what a pair of idiots.

    5 out of 5 stars Trayhern dynasty continues.......2005-05-20

    I have been eagerly awaiting the story of Kathy Trayhern. This is a great story. The chemistry between Kathy and Mac is great. The trust established between the two is well crafted. Both are heroic. Ms. McKenna's use of the symbol of the butterfly at the beginning of the book is continued throughout the book in the way that everything Kathy thinks changes. While Garcia is a drug lord and the scum of the earth, his saving grace is his love for his daughter. She realizes that two wrongs don't make a right. His father kidnapped her family so she would kidnap his daughter. She decides by the end of the book that she cannot inflict that kind of pain to the little girl. Kathy's relationship with all the minor characters is well written and often humorous.
    This book contains romance, adventure, and great characters. All of the characters, heroes and villians are well developed and the technical knowledge is well stated. We also are treated to a viist from the Ladies of the Black Jaguar Squadron. One of the BJS scenes is hilarious. Lindsay McKenna has a real winner in Enemy Mine. It is a must have for her fans.

    4 out of 5 stars exhilarating Trayhern thriller .......2005-04-27

    US Marine Corps helicopter pilot Kathy Trayhern wants vengeance on South American gang lords Carlos Garcia and his son Guillermo for all the hurt they have caused her family. However, she realizes that her assignment in South America of inserting SEALs and marine recon teams into hot spots do not allow her to make the needed drop. She also believes the Garcias see their assaults on the Trayhern family as striking out at their nemesis Morgan family patriarch and head of the CIA's Perseus Group.

    Kathy believes she has her opportunity when she is assigned to rescue a KNR (kidnap and ransom) victim, a seven year old girl snatched in Peru by the Garcias. As she infiltrates the criminal ring, she meets helicopter pilot Mac Coulter, who works the drug trade for the Garcias as a cover for his AFT efforts to infiltrate the gang. Though attracted to one another, neither trusts the other as they each believe the other works for the vile kingpin.

    The Latest Trayhern thriller is at its most exhilarating best in the Peruvian jungle as Kathy and Mac want one another, but both distrusts the other because of whom they perceive their soulmate works for. When the story line provides flashbacks especially through the eyes of Kathy to support what she feels she must do, the tale slows down to give readers a chance to relax from the high level of tension. Lindsay McKenna provides a taut thriller that stars two delightful protagonists who need one another to survive yet doubts linger as the senses rejects the instincts of their respective hearts.

    4 out of 5 stars Wonderful Highland Story.......2002-07-22

    This is the story of a girl who grows up and tries to keep her heart from ruling her life. She doesn't want to love David due to the long standing feud between their clans. The story starts with David and his Mother being captured by Breyandra's clan, and mistreated much to her father's dismay. Then the story continues through the trials and tribulations of the times and what is correct and what is assumed. There is talk of witches, "daft people", black rogues, and love as well as conniving mistresses... nice story!

    5 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL!!!!.......2002-01-07

    This is another wonderful book by a great author. I have loved every book of Ana Leigh's that I have read, especially "These Hallowed Hills" too. "My Sweet Enemy" has everything one would want and more and I am a fan of medieval romance. Breyandra and David are two people to love. I highly recommend this book.

    5 out of 5 stars Great Book.......2001-06-03

    This book is set in Medieval Scotland. The two main character are David Gordan and Breyandra Fraser. They are two members of feuding clans. David kidnaps Breyandra and keeps her prisoner in his castle and they fall in love. There is plenty of action and a mystery to be solved. The character development is very good. The book is funny as well as sensual and emotional. It is a selection of the Gloria Diehl Book Club which I had never heard of before reading this book but from now on I will look for that seal because this book was an excellent read.

    4 out of 5 stars Not Free SF Reader.......2007-09-03

    Two fighters on opposite sides of a war, and on different species are forced to work together to stay alive.

    This relationship also moves on to the next generation, and the human combatant becomes a diplomatic bridge between the two alien races, once they are out of the hairy situation.


    5 out of 5 stars One of the best SF Books EVER!.......2006-03-01

    I'm a huge fan of "Enemy Mine," and have read every version Longyear has published and every Longyear collection it has been in... "Manifest Destiny" and "The Enemy Papers," to be precise. This is one of the greatest stories of breaking racial barriers and living in peace with people of different cultures ever written. It is just as timely now as ever.

    I am hoping that the full length novel version of Enemy Mine that Longyear and David Gerrold (author of "The Man Who Folded Himself" and Star Trek's "Trouble With Tribbles") will be reprinted soon. Longyear is bringing back all of his other books, why not that one? Does the movie studio own the rights? I'm sure Gerrold would like to see it reprinted. It fleshed out the story more, developed the relationship between Shigan and Davidge, and added more Zammis material. The ending was almost the same as the short story only it was expanded and improved. The only version out there is the one with the movie tie-in cover, which is long out-of-print.

    It is wonderful to be able to read the original Enemy MIne. The book is far superior to the movie.

    5 out of 5 stars Great Inspiring Book.......2007-08-21

    We all have problems from time to time and get down. I read this book when I was faced with a great tragedy. After reading this man's account of his captivity as an American POW in Vietnam, and the misery, cruelty, and torture that he had the courage to suffer through, I knew that I would be able to survive and get through the problem and the tragedy I was facing. My problems though daunting, were nothing comparted to his. He was a real inspiration and a very brave and heroic man.

    5 out of 5 stars A telling story of renewed faith..........2001-06-02

    When I was only 11, I had the pleasure of meeting Captain Rutledge in August of 1976. He was my Dad's Commanding Officer in the Philippines. We all read his book and sat amazed at the God-granted ability to survive. I borrowed the book from my Dad (25 years later) and just finished reading it again. The faith that he and his wife were able to muster is incredible. Makes the rest of us foolish to take our God, our faith, our families, and our freedoms all for granted.

    Captain Rutledge went to his greater reward on June 11, 1984. I will never forget that man. He will always be an example for me.

    Read it!

    5 out of 5 stars Flashback.......2001-02-20

    While watching the History Channel on the topic of prisons, Hanoi Hilton came up. A few of the former "guests" were interviewed such as Sen McCain. I had a immediate flashback of Rutledge's book which I read back in the mid-70's. It was one of a few books that was hard to put down.

    "Capt. Howard Rutledge,11-27-65" was the POW/MIA name engraved on a bracelet I acquired in 6th or 7th grade (~1972). A grass roots organization distributed bracelets with the name of missing servicemen. The idea was to wear the bracelet until the missing were returned. To my great joy, Capt Rutledge returned and wrote a very inspiring account of the hell he and others lived through and the spriritual toughness and comradeship that got them through it. I immediately read the book when it first came out. As an 8th grader it had a huge impact on me. The book disappeared after being loaned out to friends. I retain the bracelet and an undiminished bank of gratitude to Capt. Rutledge and all other veterans. The depth of faith and cunning of the prisoners and the brutality of their captors is amazing. This is an excellent book about the POW experience and the true meaning of honor and a military Officer.

    Captain Rutledge gives us his recollection of his experiences as a POW so powerfully you will feel you were there with him and the other men. These men endured and survived and came home with their honor intact and their heads held high. As a nation we should be grateful for men like Captain Rutledge and his fellow prisoners. Sir, thank you for writing this book!
