Sinossi

In "The Samovar Girl," Frederick Ferdinand Moore crafts a poignant narrative that intertwines the personal and the political against the richly textured backdrop of early 20th-century Russia. This novel employs a lyrical style, marked by vivid imagery and nuanced characterization, to explore themes of love, identity, and social upheaval. Moore's use of symbolism, particularly through the titular samovar, serves to represent both connection and cultural dislocation, capturing the complexities of a society on the brink of revolution. Frederick Ferdinand Moore, an astute observer of cultural intersections and sociopolitical dynamics, draws from his own experiences and rich historical context to inform this work. Born into a tumultuous era, his writings often reflect a deep empathy for the individual amid broader societal change. Moore'Äôs extensive travels and studies in Eastern European culture provided him with a unique lens through which to depict the struggles and aspirations of his characters, illuminating the layers of conflict and hope in their lives. "The Samovar Girl" is an essential read for anyone interested in the confluence of personal stories and historical currents. Moore'Äôs eloquent prose and profound insights into human nature resonate deeply, making this work a compelling exploration of the timeless quest for belonging and self-discovery.

    "Casemate has a long history of publishing high quality military history non-fiction. Lately, they have expanded their range of work to include well written novels using wartime settings." – WWII History MagazinePatrolling the dusty and deadly roads of south-west Baghdad, a young US soldier and his comrades face IEDs and ambushes on a near-daily basis, but the longer he is in Baghdad, the more he begins to question where to look for the real enemy.Patrolling the deadly roads of south-west Baghdad, a young US soldier and his comrades face IEDs and ambushes on a near-daily basis, but the longer he is in Baghdad, the more he begins to question where to look for the real enemy.  At a dusty intersection in Baghdad, Sergeant Thomas Kirkland is seconds away from unleashing a hail of bullets on a possible suicide bomber when he's stopped by the unexpected—the piercing dark eyes of a young girl sitting on her mother's lap in the passenger seat. For a split second he'd held the life of this child and her family in his hands. Plagued by fear and anxiety, Sergeant K struggles with his own inner demons as he confronts a population around him that wishes him dead. But he confronts more than just an external enemy, as he discovers the darkness that exists not just within himself, but in his fellow soldiers.   A starkly honest and gut-wrenching account of the Iraq war from the perspective of an infantry soldier patrolling the dusty and lethal roads of south-west Baghdad. The threat of IEDs and ambushes are ever-present, but as Sergeant K and his comrades soon learn, modern war can take many shapes and forms. Grappling with a myriad of emotions—fear, anger, confusion, and anxiety—they face many external threats, but they begin to discover that the enemy within themselves can often be more challenging and dangerous than the one they were sent to fight.
