Synopsis

In "Danton: A Study," Hilaire Belloc embarks on an incisive exploration of one of the pivotal figures of the French Revolution, Georges Danton. Belloc's literary style harmonizes historical narrative with vivid character portrayal, weaving meticulous research with a compelling prose that captures the tumultuous spirit of revolutionary France. Set against the backdrop of revolutionary ideals and betrayals, Belloc presents Danton not just as a significant political figure, but as a complex individual grappling with the moral dilemmas of power and authority, deftly reflecting the era'Äôs ideological struggle between liberty and tyranny. Hilaire Belloc, a prominent English writer and historian, was deeply influenced by his Catholic faith and his fascination with the French Revolution, which was marked by a fervent clash of humanity's aspirations. His own background in journalism and advocacy for social justice infuses this work with a sense of urgency and genuine inquiry into the motivations of revolutionaries. Belloc's revisit to Danton can be seen as part of his broader mission to provoke thought on political philosophy and the consequences of revolutionary change. "Danton: A Study" is highly recommended for readers interested in historical biography, political philosophy, and the intricate interplay of personal and political motives. Belloc'Äôs engaging narrative invites reflection on the perennial themes of power and morality, making it essential for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of human ambition in tumultuous times.

    This “wonderfully written” autobiographical account of a Vietnam vet’s war experiences “takes the reader to a strange time and place.” (Eric M. Bergerud, author of Red Thunder, Tropic Lightning)   In the summer of 1969, while America was landing on the moon or rocking out at Woodstock, Jim Ross left his home in Oklahoma to enter the U.S. Army. He arrived in Vietnam in February 1970 to serve his tour, first with the armored personnel carriers of the 2nd Battalion of the 22nd Infantry Regiment (the 2/22 or the “Triple Deuce”) of the 25th Infantry. Written from the perspective a kid barely out of high school whose mission was to kill communists and whose goal was to survive, Outside the Wire is a thoughtful, action-packed memoir of one American soldier’s combat tour in Vietnam. Ross served as a rifleman, machine gunner, tunnel rat, and demolitions man with the 25th infantry and 1st Cavalry divisions. Beginning with a tense ambush patrol,  Ross doesn't let up through a year of hair-raising night watches, soggy humps through the jungle, and deadly encounters with the North Vietnamese, including such notable campaigns as the Cambodian incursion.
