An awful time . . . An awesome God. Again and again it happens. Bombs fall in a nearby shopping district. Enemy soldiers terrorize neighboring homes. Crossfire decimates civilian cars at a roadblock. War infuses every quarter of Vietnam. Most Americans long ago have left for safety. The James family remains. Sam James and his wife and four children sit tight in ravaged South Vietnam to share Jesus when the Vietnamese most need ministry--as the country falls to communism. Even during the frightening Tet Offensive; Sam communicates Christ's love and peace as he helps Vietnamese believers start churches and gird up spiritually for the dark days ahead. What makes one man willing to stare death in the face to obey God's call to serve the Vietnamese? And what becomes of all the seeds planted among these fledgling Christians as communist oppression advances?

Austria's "nationalistic" warBy Nicholas RobertsScott Bowden has a history of writing excellent books on the armies of the Napoleonic Wars and this one is certainly not an exception. However; as strong as it is; the book is probably the weakest of the three that I have read (others are on Austerlitz and 1813). This book had tons of information about the armies themselves. By that I mean the army records ie. standing strengths by corp; divisions; regiments and battalions. About 60% of the book is taken up disclosing these different facts and figures. That is definitely the strength of this book. The weakness however is in the narrative. In the other two books I read; his narrative is very encompassing; talking about movements; supply lines; battles etc. in great detail. This book seems very brief in the narrative. The campaign is briefly covered and not in any real depth. That was the only disappointment. Overall; the book is worth it.3 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Which BookBy Gregory F. YevtichI have several other titles by this author. I have always enjoyed Scotty's writings; either wargame rules or non fiction. Although there are newer titles on the subject the Danube title is still really great for a single volume on the 1809 campaign.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Excellent Orders of Battle; Large Maps and moreBy Webster the History HoundThis was recommended as an excellent primer for the famous Danube campaign 1809 and a solid starting point regarding the orders of battle for the opposing armies. The recommendation was right on. I love the maps; especially the two large ones (double-page each) on Aspern-Essling and the large one on Wagram. Thank you Scott Bowden and Charles Tarbox.
