Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the first decade of the 20th century, the British Empire was at its zenith. The Indian Subcontinent was secure barring trouble in the North West. English education had spread far and wide. The project to build and nurture a middle class of supportive English-speaking Indians was proceeding apace. Many affluent Indian families, as also the princes, sent their children to England for education as that was our only window to the West and the world at large. Thus, it was that four families had their children in England for studies when World War I broke out. During the first two years of the War, the Royal Flying Corps that had been set up as part of the British Army, suffered heavy casualties on the Western Front in Europe. The British Government was especially looking for volunteers for the flying service. Among the volunteers were four young Indian men (actually five, including a technician). The first was rejected on medical grounds even though he was an American-trained pilot. All the Indians were from affluent families and had no need to volunteer, but they did so nonetheless and were accepted, trained and sent into battle. This book, Laddie Goes to War: Indian Pilots in World War I, is the story of these five Indians who volunteered in World War I. Four of them flew combat planes in the Royal Flying Corps in France, Belgium and Italy during the War, at a time when Indians were considered to be unfit to operate a screwdriver or drive a car/railway engine, or even fly an aeroplane. This book tells their story.

Peter Gregory saw his wife die on the operating table, was lost in a blizzard and accidently fired a shotgun at his mother when he was a boy. Have you ever cried out and asked God, "Why does it have to be so hard?" A new dynamic author, Peter Gregory has been through it all and in his first book "Laddie's Grave", wants to share some realities of pursing the truth and "The God who hides Himself." Isaiah 45:15 Is it possible to know the creator of the universe in a world that, for the most part, denies His very existence? Laddie's Grave... was written for everyone who has been discouraged or is disillusioned and wondering what it takes to be successful in their walk with Christ. Laddie's Grave is a good read for those who find it a struggle to see Christ in everyday life and find their temptations an insurmountable obstacle. Jesus said, "Take Heart! I have overcome the world!" If we will seek God with all our heart and surrender our lives to Him, He is able to take even our biggest failures and make sense of them. Do you want to discover what it takes to find yourself empowered and be more than an overcomer in this life? Could it be that God has been pursuing you all your life? Sure to be a Best Seller, Laddie's Grave is a must read for anyone willing to step out in faith and seek God in their everyday experience. About the Author: Peter Gregory attended the Art Academy of Cincinnati and Asbury University in Wilmore Kentucky.
