Описание: In October 1899, the twenty-four-year-old Winston Churchill set sail from Southampton Docks for South Africa, where he was to cover the Boer War for the London Morning Post. The young Churchill's exploits on the North-West Frontier of India and in the Sudan had already won him a considerable following as an intrepid war correspondent, but for sheer audacity and excitement, nothing would rival his exploits in South Africa. Scarcely two weeks after his arrival in Cape Town, Churchill found him-- self on a train, carrying out a reconnaisance mission in enemy-held territory. The train was ambushed by a Boer patrol, and even though he was present only as an observer, Churchill took charge, helping many of his companions to escape before he was captured. Taken as a prisoner of war to Pretoria, he managed to escape, quickly becoming the object of a massive manhunt. Churchill hid from his pursuers in a coal mine and was subsequently spirited across the border. He returned to the fray, participating in the battle of Spion Kop and witnessing the relief of Ladysmith, while enthralling his readers with vivid first-hand accounts of the war's progress. Churchill's adventures in South Africa propelled him into the international arena, setting the stage for his political career; within three months of his return to Britain in 1900, he had become a Member of Parliament. Celia Sandys, Churchill's granddaughter, retraced his footsteps, visiting campsites and battlefields and interviewing the descendants of those who crossed her grandfather's path-both friends and foes. The fascinating new details she discovered combine with the thrilling events of her grandfather's life to make Churchill Wanted Dead or Alive both a gripping adventure story and a unique insight into the early years of a man who would go on to become one of the world's great leaders. CELIA SANDYS is a granddaughter of Sir Winston Churchill. Her mother was Churchill's eldest daughter, Diana, and her father was Lord Duncan Sandys, the former Cabinet Minister and member of his father-in-law's wartime government. She is married, has four children, and lives in Wiltshire, United Kingdom.

Описание: Angel and Demons collide in Sandy's Story (Ditch Lane Diaries 3). Investigative reporter, Sandy Cothran follows a murder lead on Music Row, which uncovers Luc's Testament along with a string of related crimes.Baldric is falling in love with his ward, Sandy, breaking the rules of heaven and places her in danger because Luc is waiting in the wings to pounce at his given moment.
"D.F. Jones does it again. Definitely, a book you'll want to sink your teeth into. So well written, great plot and entertaining characters that you can't help to fall in love with. A definite page-turner. This Series had me at book one, and I couldn't put it down. Each story brings you closer to each character, but this one was by far my absolute favorite. This book tells Sandy's story. I love her. And Baldric, what's not to love about him. This book is too good to give away too much, so I'll just say that if I were an angel, this book would have me sprinkling love dust all over the place. High five, DF Jones. Remarkable Read!"
"This is the third book in the Ditch Lane Diaries. The first two books were good, but this one surpasses them. Don't get me wrong; I love all the books. However, this book is my favorite of them all. The series follows the story of three friends; each book focuses on one. This is Sandy's story, and my, what a story! It combines suspense, romance, and supernatural elements, creating an unforgettable tale. The author wrapped up the series well and ties most of the loose ends. The book is well written, the characters were vivid, and the story was gripping and sucked you right in from the start. This is a story about powerful love, loss, family, trust, and good vs., evil. As the tale gets underway, it has you grasping for more. If you didn't read the series, I suggest you start with the first book as each book is tied to the next one. Highly recommended!"
