Book excerpt: The geographical location of Fort Devens has a military history that dates back to the 1600s, when the area was first garrisoned by British troops. In 1915, the region was again chosen for a cantonment, one of only sixteen in the country. In order to build the camp, the War Department assembled the largest labor force in history. New buildings sprang up at the rate of about ten per day and supported more than one hundred thousand troops that were processed at Camp Devens, as it was originally named, during World War I. Fort Devens is the first book to trace the military activity in this area. Throughout the twentieth century, troops were trained and deployed from Fort Devens for every major conflict the United States was involved in. During World War II, Fort Devens inducted more than six hundred thousand men into the army from the New England area. The list of individuals who have served here included Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Bill Mauldin, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, and Senator Edward M. Kennedy. Even NASA can trace its birth to Fort Devens by way of Dr. Robert Goddard's liquid-fueled rocket experiments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story of the World War I and World War II mobilization barracks built by the Quartermaster Corps staff, contractors, union laborers, and professional advisors who, when everything hit the fan, did the impossible. Camp Devens was carved from stands of scrub pines in central Massachusetts in 1917 as one of 16 National Army Cantonments that were needed to mobilize an army for World War I . This is the story of how a downsized, antiquated army rushed to provide housing for an army that was on requisition, to fight battles that had already been scheduled. In 90 days, a military city was planned, built, and occupied. And then as one war passed, troops went home, budgets were cut again, and the camp was all but forgotten...until the next war. In 1940, the place, now called Fort Devens, was again needed to mobilize an army that was already requisitioned. The barracks, and other buildings, from the 1917 horse drawn army had burned, or rotted, or been torn down. New facilities for a new motorized army were needed. Again, in only about 90 days a new military city was built on the same footprint as the old city. The 1940 construction was a little more durable and better cared for. The last of the World War II barracks at Fort Devens would stand until 2006.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's a race against time to find a teenager missing on the mean streets of Boston, in this hardboiled mystery featuring Andy Roark, Vietnam veteran turned Private Investigator. Boston, 1985. Private Investigator Andy Roark left the military behind years ago, but his past comes flooding back when he's hired by an old army buddy who's worried about his rebellious teenage daughter's safety. There are bonds of blood between Roark and the highly-decorated Lieutenant Colonel Dave Billings, forged in the steamy Vietnamese jungle, and some debts aren't easy to forget. Working the case for free, Roark's investigation quickly leads him to Boston's Combat Zone, five acres of sex, drugs and crime, right in the heart of one of America's oldest cities - and to Judy's unsavory new boyfriend, the drug-dealing K-nice. Then Judy runs away, and the clock starts ticking in earnest. Roark is determined to save his friend's daughter from a life of drugs and prostitution, but it'll take more than missing-person flyers and polite questions to save the girl and get them both out of the concrete jungle of the Combat Zone alive. This page-turning hard-edged mystery, written by a US Army veteran and New England police officer, is a great choice for readers who enjoy military detail, twisty plots and classic PI heroes with plenty of flaws, humour and attitude.
