Engagingly written by the diplomatic correspondent for the Jerusalem Post, this book tells the tale of Israel's lone soldiers, young men who have left family, friends, studies, and top jobs behind to travel to an unfamiliar country and culture and join its army. Revealing images from noted photojournalist Ricki Rosen bring the stories of 14 of these young men--including Michael Levin, who died in the Second Lebanon War-- to life. This chronicle also profiles Lieutenant Colonel (res.) Tzvika Levy, known as the "father of the lone soldiers," whose mission it is to welcome and prepare the foreign recruits. The stories gathered here serve as a testament to the enduring strength of the nation of Israel and its armed forces.

"The tarnished Cavalier is more than a story of scandal. Carter sheds new light on Confederate conduct of the war in the western theater during 1861 and 1862, revisits the pivotal battles of Pea Ridge and Corinth - both of which are important to understanding the loss of the upper South - and introduces new perspectives on the defense of Vicksburg and the Middle Tennessee operations of early 1863."--BOOK JACKET.

Another Confederate cavalry raid impends. You hear the snort of an impatient horse, the leathery squeaking of saddles, the low-voiced commands of officers, the muffled cluck of guns cocked in preparation—then the sudden rush of motion, the din of another attack. This classic story seeks to illuminate a little-known theater of the Civil War—the cavalry battles of the Trans-Mississippi West, a region that included Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, the Indian Territory, and part of Louisiana. Stephen B. Oates traces the successes and defeats of the cavalry; its brief reinvigoration under John S. "Rip" Ford, who fought and won the last battle of the war at Palmetto Ranch; and finally, the disintegration of this once-proud fighting force.
