Book excerpt: Until now, it has been accepted that the Turkish Straits - the Russian fleet's gateway to the Mediterranean - were a key factor in shaping Russian policy in the years leading to World War I. Control of the Straits had always been accepted as the major priority of Imperial Russia's foreign policy. In this powerfully argued revisionist history, Ronald Bobroff exposes the true Russian concern before the outbreak of war: the containment of German aggression. Based on extensive new research, Bobroff provides fascinating new insights into Russia's state development before the revolution, examining the policies and personal correspondence of its policy makers. And through his detailed examination of the rivalries and alliances of the Triple Entente, he sheds new light on European diplomacy at the beginning of the twentieth century.

Book excerpt: As three generations of women navigate the uncertain paths of their hearts and futures, one summer promises to bring change—whether they’re ready for it or not. At thirty-eight, garden shop owner Jessie McBride thinks her chances for romance are years behind her and, after her failed marriage, she’s fine with that. She lives contentedly with her fiery mother and her quiet, headstrong daughter. But the unexpected arrival of two men on Glory Road make her question if she’s really happy with the status quo. Handsome, wealthy Sumner Tate asks her to arrange flowers for his daughter’s wedding, and Jessie finds herself drawn to his continued attention. Ben Bradley, her lingering what-could-have-been from her high school days who’s known her better than anyone and whom she hasn’t seen in years, moves back to the red dirt road. Jessie finds her heart being pulled in directions she never expected. Meanwhile, Jessie’s fourteen-year-old daughter, Evan, is approaching the start of high school and trying to navigate a new world of identity and emotions—particularly as they relate to the cute new guy who’s moved in just down the road. At the same time, Jessie’s mother, Gus, increasingly finds herself forgetful and faces a potentially frightening future. For these three strong Southern women, the roots they’ve planted on Glory Road will give life to the adventures waiting just around the curve.

Lauren Denton has done it again!” —Lisa Patton, bestselling author of Rush and Whistlin’ Dixie in a Nor’easter Stand-alone Southern women’s fiction novel Book length: approximately 95,000 words Includes discussion questions for book clubs

Book Synopsis The Road To Glory by : Lawrence Brooks

Download or read book The Road To Glory written by Lawrence Brooks. This book was released on 2018-03-11. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I'm still trying to sort out my emotions after finishing this book. The ending was totally not what I expected. At first I was angry, but as I sat and thought about the book as a whole, I realized that it was an incredibly clever read. The ending had a significant impact on me, stressing me out. I experienced a wave of different emotions, each having a profound influence on my sleep. The next morning I was still going back and forth as to whether or not I actually liked the book. In fact, I went back and forth on my opinion for hours. In the end I thought Brooks did a wonderful job. Not many novels allow you to feel so many different emotions. I went from annoyance, to shock, to anger, and finally clarity about the situation. How many authors are able to bring out so many emotions from their readers?"-Goodreads Reviewer A one-of-kind thriller that takes place during the biggest annual cycling race-The Tour de France 21 Days of exhilarating action A covenant jersey being battled over by teammates A young man struggling with internal demons When Nick Carney is asked to ride the Tour de France in support of his teammate, and last year's winner, Jack Bomber, he never imagined he would be in the yellow jersey after the prologue. Now he has to contend with tension building within the team. Jack will do whatever is necessary to win, but at what cost to Nick. Each stage proves to be a battleground between the two men. The physical and mental toll to win the Tour is hard enough. When the competition comes from within your own team it's only a matter of time until the Team Director must make difficult choices-a side must be taken-there can only be one winner. Is Nick capable of keeping the yellow jersey until the final stage to become one of the youngest riders in history to win the Tour? Will Nick be able to overcome the dark thoughts that alter his perception of reality and threaten to ruin him? Who will end up with the final yellow jersey? The road to glory doesn't always lead to victory

Book Synopsis Glory Road by : Robert A. Heinlein

Download or read book Glory Road written by Robert A. Heinlein. This book was released on 2007-04-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E. C. "Scar" Gordon was on the French Riviera recovering from a tour of combat in Southeast Asia , but he hadn't given up his habit of scanning the Personals in the newspaper. One ad in particular leapt out at him: "ARE YOU A COWARD? This is not for you. We badly need a brave man. He must be 23 to 25 years old, in perfect health, at least six feet tall, weigh about 190 pounds, fluent English, with some French, proficient in all weapons, some knowledge of engineering and mathematics essential, willing to travel, no family or emotional ties, indomitably courageous and handsome of face and figure. Permanent employment, very high pay, glorious adventure, great danger. You must apply in person, rue Dante, Nice, 2me étage, apt. D." How could you not answer an ad like that, especially when it seemed to describe you perfectly? Well, except maybe for the "handsome" part, but that was in the eye of the beholder anyway. So he went to that apartment and was greeted by the most beautiful woman he'd ever met. She seemed to have many names, but agreed he could call her "Star." A pretty appropriate name, as it turned out, for the empress of twenty universes. Robert A. Heinlein's one true fantasy novel, Glory Road is as much fun today as when he wrote it after Stranger in a Strange Land. Heinlein proves himself as adept with sword and sorcery as with rockets and slide rules and the result is exciting, satirical, fast-paced, funny and tremendously readable -- a favorite of all who have read it. Glory Road is a masterpiece of escapist entertainment with a typically Heinleinian sting in its tail. Tor is proud to return this all-time classic to hardcover to be discovered by a new generation of readers. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
