    Includes maps, photos, and firsthand accounts of participants: “There is no better book on this vital chapter in American history.” —Terry Copp, author of Fields of Fire   Combining the personal recollections of soldiers with historical narrative and analysis of the actual invasion as it unfolded, this detailed description of the action at Omaha Beach during the Normandy invasion of World War II comes from “the top living D-Day historian” (USA Today).   “Anyone who wants to know anything about Omaha Beach, where the fighting was heaviest and bloodiest, must begin with this foundational book…The research is unparalleled and comprehensive enough to satisfy even the most skeptical scholar, yet the story is absorbing. The carnage of Omaha Beach comes to life with vivid contemporary descriptions from participants and witnesses, while the whole tale is deftly steered along by Balkoski’s steady narration and his sense of the battle’s larger significance. ‘History can provide at least a little solace that there was some meaning to it all,’ he writes movingly. ‘D-Day was the decisive chapter of a twentieth century Iliad.’ Indeed it was—and Balkoski is its Homer.” —The Wall Street Journal   “Balkoski makes officer and enlisted-men’s first-person testimony the center of this account.” —Publishers Weekly   “Intensely researched and definitive.” —Army magazine   “Balkoski’s depiction of ‘Bloody Omaha’ is the literary accompaniment to the white-knuckle Omaha Beach scene that opens Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan.” —The New York Post   “The best D-Day-related book I have read.” —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

    “The Broken Path: Native Tribes and the Tragedy of the Trail of Tears” delves into one of the darkest chapters in American history, documenting the harrowing experiences of Southeastern Native American tribes during the forced relocations known as the Trail of Tears. This book offers a poignant exploration of the devastating consequences of U.S. government policies that sought to remove Indigenous peoples from their ancestral lands. Through the lens of selected tribes, whose fates, though varied, were marked by equal suffering, the narrative reveals the inhumane reality of manifest destiny.  
    This doctrine drove the relentless expansion of white settlers across the continent. Despite efforts by Native Americans to resist through legal battles and armed conflict, their struggle was tragically futile against the overwhelming forces of displacement. This powerful account underscores the enduring impact of this tragic era on the Indigenous populations of America.

    Heaven Here on Earth

    While attending catechism class as a child, Curt Melliger was taught that if he obeyed the rules all his life he would be allowed to enter a place called Heaven when he died. The priest and nuns described it as a sacred abode up in the clouds that contained all of the very best things in the universe. There was sunshine and blue sky, pretty flowers and double rainbows, peace and happiness, ringing bells and beautiful music, saints and angels and the all-enveloping love of God. The young boy's mind processed this information and came to the stunning conclusion: "Why, they're talking about Earth!" 
    Since that early revelation Curt has been discovering other examples of paradise incarnate wherever he goes. This book is a collection of stories on subjects ranging from water, fire, and stars to adrenaline rushes, near-death experiences, and the place where goosebumps originate, from skiing powder and climbing high mountains and walking in reverse to the changing of seasons, the lessons of night, and the reason for dreams, from wild animals, unseen visitors, and beings that do not die to the magic of the human touch, beatific ecstasy, and what awaits us on the other side of the veil that only partially separates this golden realm from the perfect one. 
    For the Ultimate is much closer than we have been led to believe. Indeed, it is readily available right here on this planet, this Garden of Eden, this one-of-a-kind oasis in space. 
    Right now.
