Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He was the commander who led a rag-tag army of freedom fighters bent on defending liberty in a battle for Texas independence at the Alamo in 1836. But as he sees the memory of his ghost confronted by hordes of haphazard historians bent on his destruction, William Barret "Buck" Travis finds himself and everything he stood for under fire. Through some freakish fracture in time, he is transformed into modern day San Antonio to face a revisionist future that questions both his mission and motives for leading the battle that cost all who fought in it their lives. Can Lori, a fair-minded beauty and self-driven historian and reenactor, help him navigate past forces set on destroying his legacy, even as he tumbles headlong between historic past and uncharted future, triggered unwittingly by the drop of a hat or ringing of a re-enactor's musket? "Victory Or Death: Alamo Reprise" is a taut historical fantasy from the creative mind of Edith Elizabeth Pollitz that explores the relevancy of what transpired during the famous battle for Texas in 1836 through the eyes of today's revisionist culture. Can Travis withstand the scathing scrutiny that confronts him? Or are he and those who fought under his command to be buried unceremoniously in the annals of history by the very descendants of those for whom they fought and died? The line is drawn: Victory or Death awaits. ~Ned Anthony Huthmacher, author of the Alamo novel "One Domingo Morning" and moderator for the John Wayne THE ALAMO forum.~

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A former Congressman and the author of We Can Overcome presents his case for a conservative Texas. Texas is booming. In recent years, the Lone Star State has experienced some of the most rapid growth in the country, both in its economy and in its population. This is thanks to an influx of businesses relocating to Texas to take advantage of all its benefits. But this increase in population has also brought about a shift in the political dialogue within Texas’s borders. As more people pour into Texas, they bring with them liberal and socialist ideologies as they try to swing the state from red to blue. These plans for changing policies will suffocate the highly successful capitalist state and its residents, and according to Lt. Col. Allen West (Ret.), allowing these liberal ideals to creep into the legislative branch will be the death of Texas. In Hold Texas, Hold the Nation: Victory or Death, West explains how the longstanding conservative capitalist policies within the state’s government have allowed it to flourish over the years, providing hard-to-ignore evidence and allowing his experience in Congress to support his argument. He makes his stand, asserting that Texas must hold fast to its conservative ways and resist succumbing to liberal mindsets, or else cease to prosper, and begin to perish. Texas is a sustaining force for America, truly embodying the founding principles of the nation: those unalienable individual rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. In Texas, it’s “Victory or Death.” Praise for Hold Texas, Hold the Nation “A must-read for anyone who bleeds red, white, and blue.” —Brian Kilmeade, cohost, Fox & Friends; host, The Brian Kilmeade Show; New York Times bestselling author

Download or read book Victory or Death written by Mark Maloy and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An overview of the military actions and battlefields of three consecutive engagements during the “ten crucial days” of the American Revolution. December 1776: Just six months after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, George Washington and the new American Army sit on the verge of utter destruction by the banks of the Delaware River. The despondent and demoralized group of men had endured repeated defeats and now were on the edge of giving up hope. Washington feared “the game is pretty near up.” Rather than submit to defeat, Washington and his small band of soldiers crossed the ice-choked Delaware River and attacked the Hessian garrison at Trenton, New Jersey, on the day after Christmas. He followed up the surprise attack with successful actions along the Assunpink Creek and at Princeton. In a stunning military campaign, Washington had turned the tables, and breathed life into the dying cause for liberty during the Revolutionary War. The campaign has led many historians to deem it as one of the most significant military campaigns in American history. One British historian even declared that “it may be doubted whether so small a number of men ever employed so short a space of time with greater or more lasting results upon the history of the world.” In Victory or Death, historian Mark Maloy not only recounts these epic events, he also takes you along to the places where they occurred. He shows where Washington stood on the banks of the Delaware and contemplated defeat, the city streets that his exhausted men charged through, and the open fields where Washington himself rode into the thick of battle. Victory or Death is a must for anyone interested in learning how George Washington and his brave soldiers grasped victory from the jaws of defeat. “Maloy faithfully recreates the patriotic story of Washington’s crossing and brings the events of this period to life. The inclusion of the travel guide with turn-by-turn directions and photographs of what the places look like today makes the story more tangible and gives readers the ability to follow and walk in the footsteps of the Continental Army.” —Michael Britt, ON POINT Magazine
