Book excerpt: "Very short, highly anecdotal memoir of a machine gun officer's WWI adventures in France, the Balkans, and finally with Allenby across Arabia. Many of the anecdotes are entertaining, even moving. This book does a decent job reminding us that Allenby's army did most of the heavy lifting, while the threat of Lawrence's band on the flanks or cutting down a column on the move made the Turks quick to retreat rather than get boxed in at the end of the campaign. One is left wondering how many men from Gilbert's unit survived the whole war, first in the trenches of France, a few months of combat near Salonika, and finally enduring the very harsh conditions and lack of supply in the Middle East." --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romance of the Last Crusade: With Allenby to Jerusalem By a chance most fortunate I heard Major Vivian Gilbert tell the story which he has written here. When it was done, I was astonished to find that he had been talking for an hour; time had been quite forgotten, and I was ready to listen to him for as much longer as he might have been willing to speak. So have I, by certain firesides, sat enthralled while others from the Somme, or the Argonne, or Mesopotamia, made us forget time while they forgot themselves in narrating what they had seen and done; but this was in privacy: none have I heard who could hold an audience in public with a war tale as Major Gilbert did. Such tales Should be told and should be set down. They serve to remind us of the greatness in man at a time when his littleness seems chiefly to the fore. They will serve the future, too, as documents. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Last Crusader written by Louis De Wohl and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don Juan of Austria, one of history’s most triumphant and inspiring heroes, is reborn in this opulent novel by Louis de Wohl. Because of the circumstances of his birth, this last son of Emperor Charles the Fifth spent his childhood in a Spanish peasant’s hut. Acknowledged by King Philip as his half-brother, the attractive youth quickly became a central figure in a Court where intrigues and romances abounded. Don Juan’s intelligence, kindness and devout attachment to the Church enabled him to live in an environment of unscathed luxury, violence and treachery. De Wohl paints in brilliant color scenes at the Court of King Philip, Juan’s campaign against barbaric Moriscos in Andalusia and the climatic victory at Lepanto where he saved the Christian world from Islamic dominance. The Last Crusader abounds in vivid scenes and characters. Who can forget the sadisitic nature of the Prince of Asturias, the spirituality of Fray Juan de Calahorra, the scheming of beautiful Princess Ana of Eboli, the barbaric siege of Malta, or Emperor Charles the Fifth waiting for death, in his stygian throne room? Here is a novel of high adventure which brings to life the turbulence of the sixteenth century with its extremities of the wickedness and piety, its sins of pride and conquest, its seething heresies. With his strong talent for exciting historical narrative, Louis de Wohl adds another great dynamic novel to his already lustrous career.

As Arnau and his battle-weary Templars head home from battle, they face a new, insidious challenge: one seemingly from within the Order of the Temple itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gaston battled for duty and honor—until Ysmaine tempted him to fight for her love... When the Templar knight Gaston unexpectedly inherits his family estate, he knows he needs a wife and heir. A marriage of convenience to a widow in need of assistance is a practical solution and the newly-wed pair leave Jerusalem, entrusted with the delivery of a package for the Templars. Away from the life he has known for years, Gaston quickly realizes that little is following his plan—especially his mysterious wife, whose presence awakens an unexpected fire... Twice widowed, Ysmaine doubts she will ever wed again, let alone have a marriage of merit—until she is charmed by the gruff knight intent upon defending her. Ysmaine weds again, not only by her own choice but to a warrior whose honor she admires. She is determined to show Gaston that marriage has more to offer them both than an heir, but first she must win the trust of the wary man she has impulsively wed... Neither realize that Gaston has been entrusted with the treasure of the Templars—much less that someone in their small party is intent upon claiming the prize at any cost. In a company of strangers with secrets, can Gaston dare to trust his new bride? Can Ysmaine convince Gaston to confide what he knows? Can they solve the riddle together before the villain’s plan comes to fruition and all is lost? * * * The Champions of St. Euphemia series follows the quest of a group of knights entrusted with a treasure in Jerusalem which they must deliver safely to Paris on their way to their respective homes.
