From Nazi Germany came one of the most intriguing, gut-wrenching events of the century, when a group of teenage Germans waged their own war against Adolf Hitler. Master biographer Richard Lloyd Dewey recounts the compelling true story of Helmuth Hubener - the brilliant and bold teenager who daringly formed the youngest resistance group to face the Nazis. Learn how young Hubener recruited others, how his group eluded the SS, played cat-and-mouse with the Gestapo, and, amazingly, outsmarted all the Nazi authorities who sought to hunt them down. This is a mesmerizing account of the entire group and its operations, and how they exposed the Third Reich, which thought hundreds of British agents were involved when they were actually just a band of determined German teenagers. But they sacrificed all for the truth. "What the Hubener group did. . . is simply inconceivable. Only someone who himself was active in the resistance movement can grasp what it means." - Franz Ahrens, Noted German RESISTANCE FIGHTER and author

Deseret Morning News "Riveting reading." - Gannett Newspapers (owner of USA Today) "4 Stars: Excellent." West Coast Review of Books "Masterfully written." Dr. Fred R. Gowns, Professor of History, Brigham Young University "Remarkable . . . engaging." Dr. John A. Schultz, Professor of History, University of Southern California "Superlative work." James A. Cox, Midwest Book Review "An intriguing trip." Broox Sledge, columnist, The Book World "An extraordinary mix of faith and firepower. Well-researched." Dr. Walter Nugent, Professor of History, Notre Dame University "Valuable." Tim H. Blessing, Department of History, Penn State University Considered the definite work on Porter Rockwell, it s easily the most comprehensive, accurate book on him yet. This epic biography, although non-fiction, is as exciting to read as a fast-paced novel. Beautifully illustrated by renowned western artist Clark Kelley Price, this fascinating volume traces Porter Rockwell from turbulent Eastern beginnings to battles with Midwestern mobs to extraordinary gunfights on the American frontier. It's the true story of Brigham Young s bodyguard a man history (and Hollywood) has overlooked the only man to kill more outlaws than Wyatt Earp, Doc Holladay, and Batt Masterson . . . combined. A man who believed from a promise he received from Mormon leader Joseph Smith that if he never cut his hair he could never be killed. Assassins ambushed him, bounty hunters hunted him, but no one could kill him. The Deseret News in 1918 confirmed he passed through dangers "unscathed, as numerous as those recorded in the most lurid fiction." Outlaws sang ballads about him around campfires. Gunfighters took on bets and traveled hundreds of miles to face him. But never returned alive. Many viewed him as a folk hero. Famed British journalist Jules Remy wrote in 1861, "He is the stuff from which heroes are wrought. It is he who is ever at hand where there is a sacrifice to be made which can be of advantage to the oppressed." Richard Lloyd Dewey quotes hundreds of original sources-journals, letters, and court records, some from sources never before tapped - and weaves them all together in fascinating form. In the process he clarifies the controversies, dispels the shadows, and melts away the myriads of myths. Journalistic, fast-flowing writing sweeps the reader through explosive early Mormon history with charm and style. The author reports little known events and unravels a bizarre yet uplifting tale. It's a story told with breadth and feeling. Includes a detailed bibliography and index.

Rockwell: A Novel

Literature & Fiction

United States

Biographical Novel. Story of an ancestor of President George W. Bush. Recreates the dark days of 17th century England when a man could be drawn and quartered alive for no more innocuous offense than standing on a corner and preaching his views. When John Lathrop immersed himself in the battle against tyranny, a battle which had already claimed the lives of countless non-conformists before him, he had little reason to believe that his efforts would result in anything except increasing hardship and trauma for himself and his family. A respected gentleman, scholar, husband, and father of five sons and three daughters, Lathrop was compelled to ask the question: Should he take a stand for freedom of conscience, even if it may cost his life and reduce his family to the most wretched conditions? A recurrent theme throughout the story is that one must not be neutral or indifferent in the face of despotism or unabated power wielded by puppets in government, for neutrality is the great sympathizer and nurturer of evil. John Lathrop is not only the direct forefather of President George W. Bush, he is the direct forefather of three other presidents, other major political figures, university presidents, churchmen, inventors, etc. Appendices in the book give a genealogical listing of prominent descendants, other historical facts and data leading up to the founding of America. Exiled, The Story of John Lathrop is not just another story. An encyclical letter written by Leo XIII in the 19th Century stated that when a nation starts to fail, its people need to be reminded of the principles and values upon which it was founded. That is essential if that nation is to be saved at all. While America's youth are manifesting an unprecedented moral decline and an unequalled ignorance of the values which propelled their country to greatness, parents, educators, and patriots are desperately seeking ways to reverse these frightening trends. Exiled has the potential to put youth and people of all ages in touch with their roots and to awaken in them a consciousness of the important and noble principles that shaped the history of the founding of America. Exiled brings to life the intense drama that set the stage and framed American thought and history for generations.
