Fight On! puts the reader into the eye of the storm. Have a seat as Hitler gives one of his speeches. Arouse the ire of a German general in charge of a panzer division invading Czechoslovakia. Observe the political scene in Washington D.C. with some of the most important men of that day. Be there when Congress debates entering the war. Discover German U-Boats along the U.S.'s Atlantic and Gulf coastlines. Fly support for the Enola Gay on her historic, fateful flight. Learn of the Cold War from the perspective of an Ambassador who saw it firsthand. Join someone who had forays into the fringes of international intrigue, espionage, and general mischief during that historic period. Essentially an autobiography, Fight On! reads more like a fast-paced fiction thriller, with historical (military and intelligence services behind the scenes machinations), societal, philosophical themes, action-based facts, and the personal attention and interpretation of the author. From his early years to his last days, Hubbard's life is a string of serendipitous encounters that rivals the fictional Forrest Gump. The narrative is straightforward and practical and yet readers can feel the incredibly deep emotions running through Hubbard as he encountered and surveyed the sites of numerous atrocities. Especially intriguing is how a man of academia could become caught up in the "spy game" and the "cloak and dagger" world that it encompasses. Jack's sojourn in Scandinavia, his meetings with one of the world's richest men, and his attendance at the 1952 Olympics at the height of Soviet - U.S. tensions truly bears out the old adage that "truth is stranger than fiction". Students of American and world history will be surprised at the details of behind-the-scenes events with every turn of the page. With Hubbard's visceral attention to detail, previously glossed over or ignored by historians and politicians, his ability to put it into perspective, Fight On! is impossible to ignore or put aside once you start reading.

Historical

Between 1840 and 1910, hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children from all over the world traveled deep into the underdeveloped American West, lured by the prospects of adventure, freedom, and opportunity all galvanized by the spirit of Manifest Destiny. Alongside this rapid expansion of the United States, a second, overlapping social shift was taking place: the rising status of women. In a settler society busy building itself from scratch, women and children had to compromise prior sensibilities and take on many of the same responsibilities as their husbands and fathers who were often away from them for extended periods of time.In Purple Mountains & Wilderness: True Stories of the Great American West, consummate storyteller George Hubbard continues his tradition of bringing to life riveting histories of courageous little-known men and women-the settlers, and the Native Americans and Hispanics they displaced-who played monumental roles in one of America's most transformative periods.Along with the unsung heroes, myths and legends arose of the infamous and the famous: Bat Masterson, "Doc" Holliday, "Big Nose" George, Kit Carson, Chief Kicking Bird, Buffalo Bill, Chief Yellow Hand, Emperor Norton, Carry Nation, John D. Lee, Katie Elder, Ma Ferguson, and Pancho Villa to name a few. You are probably already familiar with most of these people and with the thousands of others whose names never made it into the history books. Legends of these people - and some of their 4-legged companions such as Old Blue, Spike, and Thornburg - prevail in the United States and beyond, existing not only in the popular mind and tradition but in ballads, television, movies, and Broadway. They are legends of Robin Hoods, eccentrics, gunslingers, womanizers, loyal friends, and "no one messes with my children" mamas.Hubbard's contribution is to provide true and entertaining glimpses into the characteristics and escapades that made them great - their hopes, their dreams, their schemes, their successes, and their failures. He carefully documents all of the stories in Purple Mountains & Wilderness providing the reader with a better understanding of the culture, traditions, beauty, and wonder of the Great American West.
