    Austerlitz or Death

    "Austerlitz or Death" is an epic historical novel by Auguste Vallois, a captain of the Imperial Guard who recounts his memories from the battlefields of Europe to the solitude of inner exile. 
    From his revolutionary youth in Lyon to the Egyptian campaign, the victories in Italy, the glory at Austerlitz, the frozen hell of Russia, and the final tragedy at Waterloo, Auguste tells the story of the Napoleonic Empire in first person and with painful clarity—not from the pages of history books, but from the blood, mud, and soul of those who built it… and watched it fall. 
    Through these pages, the reader will march alongside a man who lost everything but his honor. You will witness how a soldier is forged, how faith fades, how a sword is held even on broken knees. Each chapter is filled with emotion, introspection, fire, and silence. Every victory bears the taste of sacrifice, and every defeat, the dignity of those who never surrendered. 
    Vallois's prose is both elegant and raw, intimate and epic, heir to the great traditions of war and memory literature such as All Quiet on the Western Front or The Disasters of War. This is not the official history of Napoleon, nor the tale of grand strategists. It is the story of the anonymous men who believed in something greater than themselves… and paid the price. 
    A novel that masterfully blends epic military drama, psychological depth, and historical tragedy. Ideal for readers of war literature, historical fiction, soldier memoirs, or explorations of the human condition in times of crisis. 
    "I served the Emperor. And I do not regret it." 
    — Auguste Vallois

    “An incisive, readable account of a group of National Guard tankers who fought in the Philippines in the opening phase of America’s war in the Pacific.” —Robert S. Cameron, Ph.D., military historian and author of Mobility, Shock, and Firepower: The Emergence of the U.S. Army’s Armor Branch, 1917-1945   The American Provisional Tank Group had been in the Philippines only three weeks when the Japanese attacked the islands hours after the raid on Pearl Harbor. Sent north to meet the Japanese landings in Lingayen Gulf, the men of the PTG found themselves thrust into a critical role when the Philippine Army could not hold back the Japanese. When General MacArthur ordered the retreat to Bataan, the PTG proved itself indispensable. During early months of 1942, the light tanks of the PTG patrolled Bataan’s beaches, encircling and destroying Japanese penetrations and small amphibious landings. By April 1942, the situation had become untenable, and 15,000 Americans, along with 60,000 Filipinos, surrendered in one of the worst defeats in U.S. military history. The Provisional Tank Group ceased to exist, and its men endured the Bataan Death March, the torture and starvation of POW camps, the hell ships that took them to Japan and Manchuria for slave labor, and the Palawan massacre.  In an evocatively written book, Donald L. Caldwell reveals the largely ignored role of tanks in the Philippine campaign. Conducting impressive primary research to bring to life the combat history of the PTG, Caldwell has dug deeper to tell the stories of soldiers from each of the group’s six companies, recounting their service from enlistment, training, and combat to imprisonment, liberation, and return home.    “Remarkable . . . [A] well-told history . . . highly recommended.” —Jay A. Stout, LtCol (Ret), USMC, author of Air Apaches

    . . . I’ve forgotten how to travel, how to surrender to the favor and misfortune of the rails, how one says goodbye, how long one actually stands facing backward watching Point A swiftlydisappearing, and after that how long does he continue standing standing standing . . . I open my notebook, but I have no answer, I write: “traveling from Point A to Point B, from a littleseaside town to Berlin, I gaze out the window at the unfinished houses on the outskirts, warehouses in the industrial zone, stunted trees along the river with plastic bags hanging fromtheir branches like bats . . .”
     
    Sajko teases out the mental state and personal history of the protagonist, posing departure as a major theme that serves as a touchstone not only for our region [of Southeastern Europe] but also for the times we are living in. —Antonela Marušić, Novosti
     
    This is a stylistically superb novel, very readable. . . . And although this is a deeply personal text, it functions much more broadly, giving expression to the experiences, doubts, fears and all things encountered not only by this one, but a whole series of generations. —Matija Prica, booksa.hr
     
    The Story of a Man Who Collapsed Into His Notebook is about departures, childhood, the end of a relationship and the vanishing possibility in today’s world of fleeing to a better place. Written in the first person, each chapter a single sentence, the novel is an internal soliloquy of self-examination, an excavation of a life punctuated by upheaval and loss, hope and disillusionment, ambition and failure. The reader joins the narrator on his journey, both on the train and in his mind—from disjointed memories triggered by his departure from home, through attempts to put his relationships and experiences in some kind of order to find meaning in them and perhaps assign blame, to confronting his most painful memories—finally arriving with him at his destination with a sense of clarity and the possibility of a new beginning.
