It ends with his work at the War Office during the Russian Civil War of 1919 - 20. In the diary, and the accompanying letters which have been collected from various members of the Weir family, we hear the authentic voice of a First World War soldier and get an insight into his experiences on the Western Front and elsewhere. Edited and with introductory text by Saul David, this book is one of the most fascinating accounts ever published of the First World War as experienced by the men who fought it.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49552835739921,"sku":"GOR005898625","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1848326882.jpg?v=1750866287"},{"product_id":"night-train-lane-book-mike-burns-9781571684400","title":"Night Train Lane","description":"Part history, part folklore, with a hearty dash of gossip, Gini Fendler-Brown's five-minute Love Letters are legendary. Her subjects range from scrappy East Enders like Leroy Columbo, stone deaf but credited with saving nearly one thousand lives from the treacherous Gulf surf, to Charlie Cronea, the grizzled old watermelon man of the 1890s who told anyone who would listen about his boyhood as a cabin boy in Jean Lafitte's buccaneer fleet. Join that to stories of Galveston speakeasies and gambling houses, fabled names like the Balinese Room, the Turf Club, and the Hollywood Supper Club. Gini Fendler-Brown has been sharing her engaging tales about Galveston with audiences at summertime Beach Band concerts since 1989. Born and raised on the coast of Long Island Sound, she has lived most of her life by the water. Max Rizley, Jr., a native of Tulsa, Oklahoma, began his love affair with Galveston in 1978, after he earned a journalism degree from the University of Texas at Austin. He worked at the venerable Galveston Daily News for a decade. He has also served as editor-in-chief of The Islander Magazine, and his freelance work includes a Sunday column in the Texas City Sun.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49972269711633,"sku":"CIN1571684409G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51038215766289,"sku":"NIN9781571684400","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52668182757649,"sku":"NLS9781571684400","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1571684409.jpg?v=1750830410"},{"product_id":"god-s-toyland-book-mike-burns-9780964654310","title":"God's Toyland","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51009678213393,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51009682506001,"sku":"NIN9780964654310","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0964654318.jpg?v=1750819609"},{"product_id":"end-of-the-empire-how-to-protect-yourself-during-the-collapse-book-mike-burns-9781393455400","title":"End Of The Empire - How To Protect Yourself During The Collapse","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51024203186449,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51024205676817,"sku":"NIN9781393455400","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1393455409.jpg?v=1750793410"},{"product_id":"piece-of-cobalt-sky-book-mike-burns-9781448669905","title":"A Piece of Cobalt Sky","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51113058664721,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51113060892945,"sku":"NIN9781448669905","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1448669901.jpg?v=1750858378"},{"product_id":"only-one-living-to-tell-book-mike-burns-9780816501205","title":"The Only One Living to Tell","description":"Mike Burns--born Hoomothya--was around eight years old in 1872 when the US military murdered his family and as many as seventy-six other Yavapai men, women, and children in the Skeleton Cave Massacre in Arizona. One of only a few young survivors, he was adopted by an army captain and ended up serving as a scout in the US army and adventuring in the West. Before his death in 1934, Burns wrote about the massacre, his time fighting in the Indian Wars during the 1880s, and life among the Kwevkepaya and Tolkepaya Yavapai. His precarious position between the white and Native worlds gives his account a distinctive narrative voice.  Because Burns was unable to find a publisher during his lifetime, these firsthand accounts of history from a Native perspective remained unseen through much of the twentieth century, archived at the Sharlot Hall Museum in Prescott. Now Gregory McNamee has brought Burns's text to life, making this extraordinary tale an accessible and compelling read. Generations after his death, Mike Burns finally gets a chance to tell his story.    This autobiography offers a missing piece of Arizona history--as one of the only Native American accounts of the Skeleton Cave Massacre--and contributes to a growing body of history from a Native perspective. It will be an indispensable tool for scholars and general readers interested in the West--specifically Arizona history, the Apache wars, and Yavapai and Apache history and lifeways.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53113333612817,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53113333940497,"sku":"CIN0816501203VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780816501205.jpg?v=1770675596"},{"product_id":"performance-leadership-book-mike-burns-9798306043418","title":"Performance Leadership","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53660486664465,"sku":"NIN9798306043418","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798306043418.jpg?v=1781434636"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-mike-burns.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
