Arthur Griffiths' seminal work, "The Thin Red Line; and Blue Blood," intricately weaves together narratives that explore themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the complexities of human relationships against the backdrop of military history and societal norms. Through dense prose and vivid imagery, Griffiths skillfully employs a realist approach, delving into the psyche of his characters and reflecting the moral dilemmas faced during times of conflict. This dual narrative structure illuminates contrasting experiences, merging the brutality of war with the subtleties of romance, thereby capturing the reader's imagination and provoking critical reflection on the nature of honor and sacrifice in the Victorian era. Arthur Griffiths, a noted journalist and author with an extensive background in military affairs, draws upon his own experiences and observations to inform this work. His keen insight into the social dynamics of his time, combined with a passion for storytelling, allows Griffiths to construct a complex tapestry of interconnected lives that resonate with authenticity. His career, marked by a focus on historical accuracy and vibrant character development, underscores the importance of context in understanding human motivations. Readers seeking a profound exploration of personal and collective struggles will find "The Thin Red Line; and Blue Blood" an essential addition to their literary collection. Griffiths' ability to juxtapose the chaos of battle with intimate human experiences makes this work not just a narrative of war, but a rich exploration of the ties that bind us, making it a compelling read for enthusiasts of historical fiction and psychological depth.

    Volume 2 in The Dung Beetles of Liberia series. In April of 1979, Ken Verrier and his wife, Sam, return to Liberia to buy diamonds. They did not return to get caught up in a rice riot and a coup de'etat. But that's what happens. Ken witnesses and unwittingly participates in a period of Liberia's tumultuous yet poorly documented history---the overthrow of the Tolbert presidency and ultimately the end of the Americo-Liberian one hundred thirty-three years of political and social dominance. Details of President Tolbert's assassination are sketchy, but through Ken's association with his Americo friends from the past, the CIA agents he meets, and the Liberian military he is forced to deal with, a believable scenario emerges. While describing the once beautiful country and a kind and generous people, Meier intertwines terrifying tales of the atrocities committed that account for the future pain of an entire nation.

    A majestic novel of Florence Nightingale, whose courage, self-confidence, and resilience transformed nursing and the role of women in medicine 
     
     
     
    Sweeping yet intimate, Flight of the Wild Swan tells the story of Florence Nightingale, a brilliant, trailblazing woman whose humanity has been obscured beneath the iconic weight of legend. From adolescence, Nightingale was determined to fulfill her life's calling to serve the sick and suffering. Overcoming Victorian hierarchies, familial expectations, patriarchal resistance, and her own illness, she used her hard-won acclaim as a battlefield nurse to bring the profession out of its shadowy, disreputable status and elevate nursing to a skilled practice and compassionate art. 
     
     
     
    In lush, lyrical detail, Melissa Pritchard reveals Nightingale as a rebel who wouldn't relent—one whose extraordinary life offers a grand lesson in inspired will.

    A beautiful nineteen-year-old named Gilda becomes the mistress of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran. She dreams of becoming his wife. The narrator, in love with Gilda, follows clues about her death two years after the affair. 
    During an assassination attempt on the Shah, he gets shot on the steps of the Marble Palace. As he puts it, "I took a bullet for my king up the ass and got a jester's seat, the best seat, to watch the fall of the Persian Empire." 
    Killing Gilda is infused with intrigue, but at its heart, it's a love story that follows the best traditions of classics like The Beauty and the Beast. We enter the rarified atmosphere of the court, the young woman's life, and the reasons for her death. We follow the characters through the Paris of Madame Claude, the Shah's ski resort at St. Moritz, and Doctor Pitanguy's plastic surgery clinic in Baden Baden. 
    The story, with its scheming characters and rare glimpses into Shah's private life, eschews easy labels. The Shah's sexual adventurism didn't stop his liberal policies for women's rights.
