Shifty's War

Sergeant Rowdy Slater was the most incorrigible soldier in Dog Company, a group of paratroopers who fought in World War II. After the war, Rowdy turns his life around, and falls into the only job available-preacher at the community church in Cut Eye. The town's lawman, suspicious that Rowdy's change was a sham, gives an ultimatum: Rowdy serves one year as Cut Eye's minister or end up in jail. Rowdy replaces the willowy missionary who held the church together while the men were at war. But when a dark-hearted acquaintance from Rowdy's past shows up with a plan to make some quick cash, Rowdy becomes ensnared and life turns decidedly difficult. This is a wild ride of a book bursting with bank robberies, barroom brawls and desperate prayers. Before the smoke clears, all sides might get exactly what they want.

Lynn Compton

'In my day, when World War II broke out you would be embarrassed to be on the streets without a uniform on of some kind. The country was totally unified, and we never questioned the fact that we were going to go serve. If we weren't going to defend out country, who would?' -Buck Compton As part of the elite 101st Airborne paratroopers, Lieutenant Lynn 'Buck' Compton fought in the critical battles of Normandy and Market-Garden and in the freezing cold of Bastogne. Easy Company, immortalized as the Band of Brothers, stands today as an icon of brotherhood and bravery under fire. Here, Buck Compton tells his story, revealing how the skills, work ethic, and discipline he learned as a young man served as the foundation for the courage of selflessness he displayed during the deadliest conflict of the twentieth century. From his years as a two-sport UCLA star who played baseball with Jackie Robinson and football in the Rose Bowl, through his legendary postwar career as a prosecutor, in which he helped convict Sirhan Sirhan for the murder of Robert F. Kennedy, Buck Compton embodies the American dream: athlete, combat veteran, detective, attorney, judge. This is the true story of a real-life hero who travelled to a faraway place and put his life on the line for freedom-and an insightful memoir about courage, leadership, camaraderie, compassion, and the opportunities for success that can happen only in America. 'A refreshingly frank memoir.' -Military.com 'Out of all the officers in Easy Company, Buck was closest to the guys.' -Edward 'Babe' Heffron 'I could never say enough to express my thanks and admiration for Buck Compton.' -William 'Wild Bill' Guarnere

Call of Duty

Travis Mills

Thousands have been wounded in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Five have survived quadruple amputee injuries. This is one soldier's story. Thousands of soldiers die every year to defend their country. United States Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills was sure that he would become another statistic when, during his third tour of duty in Afghanistan, he was caught in an IED blast four days before his twenty-fifth birthday. Against the odds, he lived, but at a severe cost—Travis became one of only five soldiers from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to survive a quadruple amputation. Suddenly forced to reconcile with the fact that he no longer had arms or legs, Travis was faced with a future drastically different from the one he had imagined for himself. He would never again be able to lead his squad, stroke his fingers against his wife’s cheek, or pick up his infant daughter. Travis struggled through the painful and anxious days of rehabilitation so that he could regain the strength to live his life to the fullest. With enormous willpower and endurance, the unconditional love of his family, and a generous amount of faith, Travis shocked everyone with his remarkable recovery. Even without limbs, he still swims, dances with his wife, rides mountain bikes, and drives his daughter to school. Travis inspires thousands every day with his remarkable journey. He doesn’t want to be thought of as wounded. “I'm just a man with scars,” he says, “living life to the fullest and best I know how.”
