DUTY: An Epic Novel of West Point and the Civil War (Duty, Honor, Country Book 1) Amazon.com: DUTY: An Epic Novel of West Point and the Civil War (Duty, Honor, Country Book 1) eBook : Mayer, Bob: Kindle Store

One of my favorites. FREE today. If you enjoyed the HBO miniseries ROME, you'll like this. We follow two fictional cadets from their time at West Point in the 1840s, through the Mexican War and into the Civil War. #history #historicalfiction #civilwar #westpoint #GoArmy amzn.to/3LQyGF3

Just got this in the mail, because yes, I didn't have a hardcover copy. I'm trying to put all my titles on shelves in my office and I needed one. With the bullet hole cover. A classic. It was named one of the top 100 romances of the decade for the decade it came out. Which is not this one.

Threads is a devastating movie. But terrible title; as an author I've learned titles has to invited readers in; or give them an idea of the topic. I've done some pretty bad titles in my early books also.

I've read it a couple of times. Along with Fail Safe. Even wrote my own nuclear apocalypse book: The Omega Missile. But this book is much scarier than all of them.

An under-reported story at the time is when Patel almost got a flight of SEALs shot down. Kash Patel, currently the FBI Director, failed to secure overflight permission from Nigerian officials in a timely manner during a 2020 special operations hostage rescue mission in Nigeria.
