Der Retter der Beiden Länder: Fluch der Sonne (German Edition) by Monika Mangal (193 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

Zweiter und letzter Teil der spannenden Geschichte um den Arzt Senmut: Auf Königin Tejes Geheiß zieht Senmut mit seiner Familie nach Achetaton, wo er fortan als ihr persönlicher Leibarzt fungiert. Wohl fühlt er sich nicht in der Stadt des selbstsüchtigen Herrscherpaares, aber sein brisanter Auftrag macht seine ständige Anwesenheit unumgänglich. Seine überraschende Begegnung mit Sadeh, Rahoteps leiblicher Mutter, bringt lange gehegte und verdrängte Befürchtungen zum Vorschein, die sich auf völlig unvorhersehbare Weise zu bewahrheiten drohen.

Bloody Ground: Black Rifles in Korea by John Holway (24 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Korea is "the forgotten war." But to those who fought in it, it was the "unforgettable war." If the names of all those killed were put on a wall, it would be larger than the Vietnam Wall. And Korea lasted only three years, Vietnam about ten. The agony of the winter of 1950-51 is an epic to compare with Valley Forge and the Bulge. Korea was also our last segregated war. This is the story of the black 24th Infantry Regiment, told in the words of the men themselves. Like all black troops since the Civil War, they were reviled by whites and their own commander for "bugging out" - running before the enemy. The charge can still be read in the Army's own official histories. Yet the 24th left more blood on the field than their white comrades - if they did bug out, they must have been running the wrong way. It's a good thing we weren't with Custer," one black GI muttered - "they'd have blamed the whole thing on us." The 24th won the first battle of the war, won its division's first Medal ...
