Australian supernatural suspense thriller/horror. Four teenagers
find themselves on a ride to hell when they are tormented by a
train without a driver in the wilds of the Australian outback.
Bestselling military historian H. W. Crocker III turns his guns
on the epic story of America s involvement in the First World War
with "The Yanks Are Coming: A Military History of the United States
in World War I."
The year 2014 marks the centenary of the beginning of the Great
War, and in Crocker s sweeping, American-focused account, listeners
will learn how George S. Patton, Douglas MacArthur, George C.
Marshall (of the Marshall Plan), Wild Bill Donovan (future founder
of the OSS, the World War II precursor to the CIA), Harry S.
Truman, and many other American heroes earned their military spurs
in during World War I; why, despite the efforts of the almost
absurdly pacifistic administration of Woodrow Wilson, American
involvement in the war was inevitable; how the First World War was
the war that made the modern world sweeping away most of the
crowned heads of Europe, redrawing the map of the Middle East,
setting the stage for the rise of communism and fascism; why the
First World War marked America s transition from a frontier power
some of our World War I generals had actually fought Indians to a
global superpower, with World War I generals like Douglas MacArthur
living to see, and help shape, the nuclear age; about the Young
Lions of the War heroes who should not be forgotten, like air ace
Eddie Rickenbacker, Sergeant Alvin York (memorably portrayed by
Gary Cooper in the Academy Award winning movie "Sergeant York"),
and all four of Theodore Roosevelt s sons (one of whom was
killed).
Stirring and full of brilliantly told stories of men at war,
"The Yanks Are Coming" will be the essential book for readers
interested in rediscovering America s role in the First World War
on its hundredth anniversary."
