Parade's End is an acclaimed masterpiece by Ford Madox Ford, who endeavored to capture the essence of his era as a historian of his own time. The novel's subject is the world as it culminated in war, a backdrop that frames the story of Christopher Tietjens, an officer and gentleman often described as the last English Tory.

Ford intricately follows Tietjens from the secure, orderly world of Edwardian England into the chaotic madness of the First World War. Amidst the backdrop of war, Ford explores the complex sexual warfare between Tietjens and his faithless wife, Sylvia. This narrative is a work of truly amazing subtlety and profundity.

Parade's End stands as a testament to Ford's literary prowess, offering a gripping study of character and a vivid portrayal of a world at war.

Once An Eagle is the story of one special man, a soldier named Sam Damon, and his adversary over a lifetime, fellow officer Courtney Massengale. Damon is a professional who puts duty, honor, and the men he commands above self-interest. Massengale, however, brilliantly advances by making the right connections behind the lines and in Washington's corridors of power.

Beginning in the French countryside during the Great War, the conflict between these adversaries solidifies in the isolated garrison life marking peacetime, intensifies in the deadly Pacific jungles of World War II, and reaches its treacherous conclusion in the last major battleground of the Cold War—Vietnam.

A study in character and values, courage, nobility, honesty, and selflessness, here is an unforgettable story about a man who embodies the best in our nation—and in us all.
