Death March to Buchenwald is a gripping memoir of a young man’s journey through the German concentration camps of WWII. Jochanan’s fiancée, Nitzah, escapes the ghetto, and hides in the labor camp to which he has been deported. Somehow, from within the camp, he must devise a plan for her to avoid being captured by the Nazis. Extremes of human nature are revealed to Jochanan as he experiences the hell of various concentration camps and the Death March to Buchenwald, in which thousands of prisoners perish from starvation, the freezing cold, and killings by the Nazi guards. Yet it

Some argue that Muslims have no tradition of separation of church and state and therefore can’t participate in secular, pluralist society. At the other extreme, some Muslims argue that it is the duty of all believers to resist western forms of government and to impose Islamic law. Andrew F. March demonstrates that there are very strong and authentically Islamic arguments for accepting the demands of citizenship in a liberal democracy, many of them found even in medieval works of Islamic jurisprudence. In fact, he shows, it is precisely the fact that Rawlsian political liberalism makes no

The 250-year pioneer heritage of Erwin and Unicoi County is an intrinsic part of East Tennessee’s historical landscape. By the early 1700s, the legendary Long Hunters had ventured into this wildfrontier—then part of North Carolina—following the abundant game and trade with the Native Americans. This river-fed land was soon dubbed “Greasy Cove” as a meeting place where game was cleaned. Around 1760, settlers found their way into the valley, carvinghomesteads out of hidden coves or fertile flatlands alongsi

Arthur de Caldicot waits eagerly in Venice for the start of the Fourth Crusade. But it’s now, when Arthur’s future should be clearest, that he feels the most doubt.

Napoleon dominated nearly all of Europe by 1810, largely succeeding in his aim to reign over the civilized world. But Britain eluded him. To conquer the island nation, he needed Russia’s Tsar Alexander’s help. The Tsar refused, and Napoleon vowed to teach him a lesson by intimidation and force. The ensuing invasion of Russia, during the frigid winter of 1812, would mark the beginning of the end of Napoleon’s empire. Although his army captured Moscow after a brutal march deep into hostile territory, it was a hollow victory for the demoralized troops. Napoleon’s men were

Award-winning Civil War historian Noah Andre Trudeau has written a gripping, definitive account that will stand as the last word on General William Tecumseh Sherman’s epic march—a targeted strategy aimed to break not only the Confederate army but an entire society as well. Sherman’s swath of destruction spanned more than sixty miles in width and virtually cut Georgia in two. He led more than 60,000 Union troops to blaze a path from Atlanta to Savannah, ordering his men to burn crops, kill livestock, and lay waste to everything that fed the Rebel war machine. Told through the i
