Synopsis

Medieval War Facts explores the realities of combat during the Middle Ages, moving beyond romanticized notions to examine the strategies, technologies, and societal impacts that defined this violent era. The book reveals how medieval warfare was more than just chaotic battles.

 
For example, the development of castles wasn't merely for defense; their design and function were central to medieval power and siege tactics. Another key aspect was the feudal system, which profoundly shaped military organization and campaigns.

 
The book examines the evolution of medieval military technology, the social structures underpinning warfare, and the strategic doctrines governing battlefield tactics. Beginning with the decline of the Roman Empire, the book progresses through the rise of kingdoms and their constant clashes. It highlights the interconnection between technological innovation, social organization, and strategic thinking, showing how warfare shaped European societies.

 
The book systematically introduces the main participants in medieval warfare, analyzes castle designs and siege tactics, and examines the broader strategic context, offering a comprehensive overview grounded in primary sources and modern scholarship.

The Book We Wish We Had

Lisa Bachman, Justin Bachman

Lisa Bachman’s son, Justin, was sick, suffering, and broken. Lisa and her husband, Ron, had no idea how to heal, help, or fix him. His third suicide attempt, by the time he was eleven years old, was their final wake-up call. Although he survived, their family was left without a roadmap. They would start down a path through a maze, hit a wall, turn around, and begin again. Thankfully, with help, they found their way. Not only did they get through extraordinarily difficult times with a suicidal son, but he went on to start a nationwide nonprofit organization and become a motivational speaker who led more that 150 full-school assemblies for students in grades five through twelve in sixteen states—all before he turned eighteen.Mental health problems and the subsequent intolerance and isolation are some of the most prevalent, yet least discussed issues facing parents and kids today. Children and teens are over schedule, overstimulated, and dealing with challenges and questions that adults could never have imagined. Add in undiagnosed issues, willful ignorance, limited resources, refusal of the school to provide resources and abandonment from those believed to be a support system, and readers will get a glimpse of the obstacles the Bachman family had to overcome to navigate the first twelve years of their son’s life. “I wrote The Book We Wish We Had to share our triumphs but even more so, to share our struggles. By revealing our vulnerabilities and missteps, my hope is that readers will relate and become better able to understand that their experiences and feelings are normal as they find their way out of their maze.” Says Bachman, a mother of three grown children.The Book We Wish We Had addresses issues head-on with raw realism, humor, and hope as Bachman tells the story of how her family navigated their son Justin’s suicide attempts, medical, and mental illness. More than a memoir, this book is a resource that speaks truth to the pain that is so difficult to voice
