âMarked by scrupulous and wide-ranging research, it is not only good history but good narrative as well.â âRobert J. Taylor, American Historical ReviewThis classic account of King Philipâs War, first published in 1958, offers a birdâs-eye view of the conflict, from the Wampanoag sachemâs rise to his ultimate defeat. The battles, massacres, stratagems, and logistics of this war are all detailed, with the leaders of both sides figuring prominently in this tale of bloodshed, privation, and woe. The author weighs all the factors contributing to the Native Americansâ defeat and surveys the effects of the war on the lives of both Indians and colonists in the years to come. With insight, balance, and compassion, Leach portrays the tragedy of the war and points toward the future of the nascent American republic.

Journey Into One, The Final Unity

Mikkelsen, Peter

Eddie Delano is an underachieving, recalcitrant young man desperate to avoid life's absurdities and cursed to experience them in total. His sidesplitting quest begins in war-torn Vietnam but moves quickly to rural California and a circus-like college campus filled with oddball professors, rabid women's libbers and misguided leaders of the social revolution. His helpers and guides include the ultimate con man, a stoned-out hippie, and the wicked woman of his dark desires. Despite their shenanigans and the obstacles provided by the comically inept sheriff's detectives and the maniacal vegetarians of Baba Rama, Eddie finds his treasure. Or does he?

Yano's adventure takes place in western New Mexico circa 1100 A.D. among what would today be called the pueblos. Life for the young warrior is exciting enough, what with hunting with his friends on the beautiful mesas, exploring mysterious caves, and falling in love. But there is also tragedy in Yano's world, and the treachery that spawns it. Marauders have been raiding the pueblos in their valley, and the brutality of recent attacks has escalated. When all-out war breaks out, Yano is forced on a dangerous mission of vital importance to their survival, one that will take all his courage, knowledge, and skills to fulfill.

Genre Fiction

In this prequel to Delano, we find our hapless hero grappling with his identity in a world of paradox, caught between an authentic place of peace, love and music and a wasteland driven by mindless self-indulgence. The inhabitants of this wasteland include Eddie's hopelessly gullible parents, expedient teachers, useless authority figures, and vicious pets. This time his helpers and guides include a beautiful beatnik recluse and her cynical parrot, a hippie pachuco with the inside track to everything, and Molly the poet. But always in the background, the mechanism of irony played out in a war-driven society. Nothing at all like today.
