Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 1942, in coordination with the Belgian resistance, Schepens stage-managed a highly secret information and evacuation service through the counterfeit operation of a backcountry lumbering enterprise. This book traces Schepen's gradual transformation from an apolitical young ophthalmologist into double agent "Jacques Perot," and his emergence in the postwar period as a modern folk hero to the residents of Mendive. Woven into the account are the stories of a remarkable international cast of characters, most notably the Basque shepherd Jean Sarochar, regarded as a local misfit, with whom Schepens formed his most unlikely partnership and an enduring friendship.".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In March of 1863, the days were ticking down on Brenton Christie's medical leave. If he had been lucky, he would have been lounging by the cracker barrel back in Delaware, Ohio impressing his neighbors with stories of the real war. But the foot soldier had not smelled Lady Luck's perfume in a long time, and she was not courting him now. Instead, General Ulysses Grant had shanghaied him as scout aboard the ironclad Cincinnati, and he was steaming up Deer Creek with Admiral David Porter's swamp navy to take Vicksburg by the back door. It should have been easy duty, but instead he encountered primeval forests, cannibalistic wildlife, and tenacious Confederates. The Army of the Tennessee did not take winters off, and Grant had already lit the fuse to his Vicksburg juggernaut. Ensuing events catch Christie in the crossfire riding with Benjamin Grierson and he discovers a second war behind the front linesone fought by warriors without rifles who are just as idealistic and ruthless, comrades in enemy colors, and enemies among his own. This is the second Civil War novel by Jeane Heimberger Candido, who has contributed to Blue & Gray Magazine, Civil War Historian, has appeared on PBS, and enjoys living in two world.

A veteran of Shiloh and Chickamauga, Colonel Daniel McCook was mortally wounded while leading his brigade in a reckless assault up Kennesaw Mountain in June 1864, on the orders of his friend and former law partner General William Tecumseh Sherman.
