Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - May 29, 1940. Fourteen-year-old Colin Neville and his parents sail their schooner, Marie Celine, in the first convoy of the 'Little Ships of Dunkirk' to rescue the British Expeditionary Forces off the beaches of Dunkirk. During the perilous journey, Colin loses his parents, his boat, and his memory. Years later with his memory now intact, Colin sets out to find and retrieve Marie Celine-The Angel Ship. Determined to sail her in the last commemoration of the Dunkirk rescue, he eventually locates her in France where she is now a shrine to the French Resistance-and the French veterans there vow to fight to keep her. The media gets involved, and soon British veterans of Dunkirk arrive to battle for the Little Ship that is to them a monument to the war's turning point and a symbol of the endurance of the British people. The fight for Marie Celine causes an upwelling of old resentments between the French and the British, which precipitates an international incident. Colin again faces another great loss. Yet, against all odds, he finds redemption and discovers a new found belief in the resilience of the human spirit.

He goes for the challenge, battling weather, bears, black flies, mosquitoes, getting lost. He goes for the scenery, the wildness, the silence, the peace. Curran works as a clinical psychologist and lives with his wife and two children in Berlin, Massachusetts. He is also the author of Hellgate Press's Canoe Trip: North to Athabasca.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - When Uncle Sam ordered Alfred and Charlie Fattig to answer the military draft during World War I, the brothers immediately grabbed their rifles. But not to march off to war. Conscientious objectors both, albeit lacking the formal education to fight induction, they retreated deep into southwest Oregon's rugged mountains where they hid out for three years, feasting on everything from bear to squirrel. Their saga is one of survival in what is now the Kalmiopsis Wilderness, arguably one of the ruggedest areas in the contiguous United States. Yet Madstone is more than a fascinating tale about two colorful draft dodgers a century ago. Southwest Oregon was a microcosm of rural America when the world was at war. Like most rural areas, the region was rife with young men eager to test their mettle in war. Patriotism was encouraged; pacifism was not. During his more than 30 years of research for the book, the author interviewed numerous WWI veterans who talked about the war and life in the region. Readers will also meet an army of other characters, including a gungho young man who, while the brothers were in their mountain redoubt, would become celebrated as the first American soldier to fire a shot at the enemy during WWI.
