THE BLOODY ROAD TO DEATH depicts all the savagery of war punctuated with black humour, as Tiny, Porta and the rest of the men advance across Europe. The Russian Officer falls forward and I sink my teeth into his throat. Blood runs down over my face but I don't notice it. I am fighting for my life. The 27th Penal Regiment are veterans of the frontline. But when Hitler's war takes them through Greece, Yugoslavia and Albania, they are entirely unprepared for what awaits them. And when the water rations run out, they are willing to commit murder just for a drink.

On the Bloody Road to Jesus is a study of the rich religious legacy of the Chiricahua Apaches and its inevitable collision with Christianity. Beginning with Apache creation stories, H. Henrietta Stockel describes Chiricahua beliefs and ceremonies before going on to recount the conditions of the Spanish colonial frontier at the moment of conquest. Subsequent chapters trace events that culminated in the surrender of the Chiricahua Apaches in 1886, the twenty-seven years of incarceration as American prisoners of war in Florida, Alabama, and Oklahoma, and the life-changing consequences of the children's education in government-sponsored boarding schools. Stockel portrays an unbroken sequence of economic motivations on the part of the Spanish, Mexican, and American governments, each eager to expand their respective territories. Equally unbroken was the resistance of the Apaches to indoctrination. According to Stockel, the Chiricahua Apaches never completely surrendered their traditional religion to Christianity. Like other syncretistic religions, their beliefs incorporated aspects of Christian dogma even while they protected their own religion from outsiders. This is a complicated story rich in cross-cultural encounters on the battlefield, in mission churches, and in the classroom. Stockel's research and writing bring to life the fierce resistance of a heroic people.

Tenderfoot Jack Neuman came to Wyoming as a fifteen-year-old orphan, to seek his fortune. He lodged with Crazy Horse and his Lakota tribe. He later scouted for the U.S. Army. He achieved financial security by prospecting for gold and purchased his dream ranch property near Hat Creek, Wyoming. He learned both the hardships and solitude of pioneer life and grew into a man on the Cheyenne-Deadwood stage trail. Lonesome for company, Jack brings out his childhood sweetheart from Minnesota, Heather, and marries her, but his devotion is on destroying the bad guys, not his marriage, and his beautiful young wife soon has an affair and breaks his heart. The naïve young man could not foresee the challenges that lay ahead of him. He teams up with Calamity Jane and D. Boone May. With their gallant exploits, they are elevated to legendary heroes. When Jack meets Heather in Deadwood years later, she’s running an elegant brothel and he’s a U.S. Deputy Marshal. Their youthful love is rekindled, but Heather does not know if Jack has matured enough out on the trail to now be a responsible husband.
