While it was taken and held for a few days - it’s recapture by the Turks on 10 August 1915 decided the fate of the Gallipoli Campaign. Within four months the Allies were forced to evacuate the peninsula, leaving it to the Turks - a decisive victory for the Ottoman Empire Death on Bloody Ridge: Chunuk Bair - the battle that decided the fate of the Gallipoli Campaign, focuses solely on this one decisive battle.

Book excerpt: First there was the darkness, and then the burning sands. A mysterious man wakes up with no memories of who or where he is, and so he sets out to explore the desolate wasteland around him. But amid burning skies and men who manifest the darkest parts of themselves, he finds others like himself, and together they set out to rescue someone he can barely remember. Braving a city of madmen, a valley with monstrous, howling creatures and a river overrun with storms and the souls of the lost, he and his companions ultimately make their way to the most dangerous place imaginable, to the very throne of the devil's kingdom, in an effort to rescue one soul for the sake of an invisible friend they can't even see. Beyond the Gates takes you into the mythology of Heaven, Hell and Earth, exploring all three through the eyes of an amnesiac who struggles to learn what's real and what isn't in a place where even time seems to hold no power. But at the core, it probes the question of whether or not you'd be willing to enter the most dangerous place on God's behalf, to plumb the deepest depths for his sake, to truly and unflinchingly walk Beyond the Gates.

Download or read book Bitterroot A Memoir written by Steven Faulkner and published by Beaufort Books. This book was released on 2016-07-07 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the letters of the 19th-century explorer Pierre Jean De Smet, Steven Faulkner and his eighteen-year-old son, Alex, follow De Smet across the High Plains to the fur trappers’ rendezvous on the Green River, then on to the Lewis and Clark Trail. Lewis and Clark take them over the Rockies (a part of their journey that almost killed the explorers) into the homeland of the Nez Perce whose fate (recorded by a young warrior named White Thunder) is strangely tied to these emissaries from the east. By road, foot, mountain bike, and canoe, Steven and Alex experience the vast landscape and try to capture an understanding of the Wild Northwest, an understanding supported by many chance encounters with modern residents: Bubba, the LA gangster taking refuge in Idaho’s mountains; Jean, the retired school teacher who has a visceral hatred of the EPA; Mary the dog trainer who fought the Forest Service for ten years and won—losing $100,000 in the process; the Knife Lady who is raising nine kids in a blue school bus; the combative waitress who misinforms us about the Chinese Massacre of Rock Springs; the drug-addicted boy whose search for his father finds an unexpected ending.

Download or read book Strick written by Tim Strickland and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2021-07-07 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biography on the unique military career and decorations of the British general Strick. He commanded no fewer than three armored regiments in World War II. Major-General Eugene Vincent Michael Strickland CMG, DSO, OBE, MM, CStJ, Star of Jordan – Strick – rose from penniless hardship to great military distinction. He was a tank man, a war hero who fought in France, North Africa and Italy during World War II, and whose name is revered even today among regiments that he commanded. His is the extraordinary tale of a man who gained a Regular Commission in the Indian Army from Sandhurst, but resigned soon afterwards. After a series of intriguing adventures, he then enlisted as a private soldier in the Royal Tank Corps. In May 1940, he played a major part in the counterattack at Arras, where two British infantry tank battalions held up the German advance for three days, enabling the success of the Dunkirk evacuation – and perhaps saving Britain from ultimate defeat in the process. Strick's outstanding success as a troop-sergeant in France saw him immediately (re-)commissioned, and his rise to high command was then swift. He commanded the leading Squadron of North Irish Horse in Tunisia 1943, and then commanded the North Irish Horse in its greatest battle, the breaking of the Hitler Line, in Italy in 1944. He served in seven regiments and had four regimental commands. This book focuses on his experience during World War II, drawing out the unique qualities required of leaders in close-combat battle, the particular demands of armored infantry cooperation, and how an individual can make a success of such a rapid rise through the ranks during wartime. This fine story of adventure and achievement is brought alive by Strick’s remarkable correspondence – he wrote home to his family every second or third day throughout the war, except when action was too fierce to write – supplemented by the recollections of his comrades and years of archival research. More than a portrait of a gifted and morally courageous man, this biography also offers an insight into the arts of command and tactical control, and the difficulties of a family life fragmented by war.

Meloux guides this stranger and his great niece, Cork O'Connor's wife, to safety deep inside the Boundary Waters, his home for more than a century. On the last journey he may ever take into this beloved land, Meloux must do his best to outwit the deadly mercenaries who follow. Meanwhile, in Aurora, Cork works feverishly to identify the hunters and the reason for their relentless pursuit, but he has little to go on. In desperation, Cork begins tracking the killers, but his own skills in the wild are severely tested by a late season snowstorm. He knows only too well that with each passing hour time is running out. His fiercest enemy in this deadly game of cat and mouse may be his own deep self-doubt about his ability to save those he loves"--Dust jacket flap.
Download or read book Alaskan Odysseys written by Joseph Ebertz and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2023-06-07 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alaskan Odysseys chronicles 11 different journeys into 11 different parts of Alaska, all of them remote areas that require significant effort (logistics) to access. Much work went into the planning for these trips, because they involve much by way of preparation, transportation in and out, and all the gear necessary to be self-contained for up to two weeks in a land that will make you pay for any mistakes. This is much more than a ‘how-to’ collection of chapters, there are the daily events to relate, daily events that might include a hair-raising descent through a series of rapids, or a sighting of brother griz on the prowl, or observations about the uniquely Alaskan geography we find ourselves in. These 11 trips of a lifetime were some of the most challenging times of my life, and brought out the best in each of us, providing me, at least, with stories for a lifetime. This book will appeal to anyone with an interest in the Alaskan wilderness.

Book excerpt: In the first novel of this steamy contemporary Western romance series by two blockbuster authors, a cowboy and a woman on the run take a stand and fight for love. Carlin Reed lives in fear, off the grid, moving from place to place. So Battle Ridge, Wyoming, a small town in the middle of nowhere, seems like a good place to lie low for a while. But after becoming cook and housekeeper to cattle rancher Zeke Decker, Carlin suspects that she’s made her first mistake. Rugged, sexy, and too distracting for his own good, Zeke is pure temptation mixed with something deep and primal that makes Carlin feel almost safe. Soon things are getting way too hot in the kitchen. Zeke doesn’t challenge Carlin’s terms: cash, dead bolts, and no questions. It is easy to see that she’s a woman in trouble. Problem is, he’s so blindsided by his attraction to her he can’t think straight. Zeke tries to stay all business, no complications—but that game plan is sabotaged the second Carlin gets under his skin. And when her terrifying past follows her to the ranch, Carlin faces a heartbreaking choice: run away from the man she loves, or put him in the crosshairs of a madman.
