Produktbeschreibung
The Big Red One, Book 4: World War I, and it's a deeply moving, unflinching portrait of one man's return to the battlefield when the world goes to war again. Set in 1917, as the United States joins the First World War, this fourth installment in the acclaimed Big Red One series follows Captain Thomas Anders-Spanish-American War veteran, father, and reluctant soldier, as he's called back into service by none other than General John J. Pershing. From the solemn weight of home in Boston to the chaotic training grounds of Fort Jay, and finally across the Atlantic to France, Anders becomes part of something bigger than himself: the formation of the legendary First Infantry Division, also known as The Big Red One. Through rigorous training, philosophical doubts, and the camaraderie of a new generation of soldiers, he must once again reckon with what war takes-and what it asks us to leave behind. This novel blends lyrical prose with raw realism, capturing the intimate cost of duty and the forging of one of America's most iconic military units.
Autorenporträt
Rowan is a lifelong enthusiast of American military history, with a particular focus on the men and women who have served on the front lines, rather than the armchair generals. His passion lies in understanding the experiences of those who did the actual fighting, exploring the personal stories of sacrifice, bravery, and hardship that have shaped the nation's history. From the Revolutionary War to modern-day conflicts, Rowan has spent years delving into the lives of soldiers and their contributions, always striving to honor their role in shaping America's identity. In addition to his historical interests, Rowan is the proud father of two grown children, a son and a daughter. Fatherhood has been one of his greatest joys, and though his children are now adults, the bond he shares with them remains strong. His dedication to both his family and his studies reflects a deep respect for the values of resilience, sacrifice, and commitment-both in life and in the history he reveres.
