Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Young Gunner describes the history of the Royal Field Artillery in France and Flanders in the Great War, including the Battle of the Somme in 1916. The book is based on the letters and journals of Second Lieutenant Colin Hutchison who joined the army aged 19 just before the war started. He found himself in command of a single gun in battle in 1914, a section of guns in 1915, a battery of six guns in 1916, and a brigade of 24 guns by the end of the war. He tells the story of front line action in thirteen battles on the Western Front, including Mons 1914, Ypres 1915, The Somme 1916, Passchendaele 1917 and Ypres 1918. His personal stories are inspiring, but more importantly his letters and journals describe, in a consistent style, not only life on the front line with the artillery, but also the details of his tactical deployment in battle. David explains, from his perspective, why so many men died unnecessarily in that war, and why the changes in tactical thinking he saw as necessary to achieve success and to prevent casualties were so slow to be adopted. One cannot understand the battles of the First World War without understanding the artillery. This book, with copious factual footnotes and helpful maps, gives new insights into many of the battles, and also covers all aspects of the field artillery at war on the Western Front, with the final chapter drawing together the tactical developments year on year. The Young Gunner will appeal to readers of military history, and in particular to those interested in the stresses and experiences of any one of the 140,000 men who served in the Royal Field Artillery in the First World War.

Book excerpt: 'UBIQUE' The Young Gunner As we left the station we saw an army vehicle. Alan told me, "That's a fifteen hundred weight truck, and the canopy has been removed" There was a soldier standing by it, he had a stripe on his arm. When we reached the vehicle Alan asked him "are you here to pick us up" the soldier replied, "I think so, I'm here to meet David Chard and Alan Dean, is that you two?" "yes sir," I said. "You don't call me sir, I am a Lance Bombardier, only men above Sergeant are addressed as sir, that's Warrant Officers and Commissioned Officers. Every one else is addressed by their rank, A Sergeant is Sergeant, I am Bombardier. Which one are you?" "I'm Chard Bombardier" "good" he looked at Alan, "you must Dean then, "yes Bombardier" Alan replied "OK, put your luggage in the back and jump in after it. Kimnel Park camp is seven miles away" We moved off and soon found out that riding in the back of a fifteen hundred weight truck is not the most comfortable way to travel, especially when there was no canopy on it. When we arrived at the camp we were greeted by another soldier. This one had three stripes on his arm. Alan told me "call this one Sergeant when you talk to him." The Lance bombardier introduced us to him, "this is Chard and Dean sergeant." He looked at us. "I'm Sergeant Green, I don't know why they keep sending odds and sods to us, the Battery is away at practice camp at the moment, they don't return until next week but don't worry, I'll give you plenty to do."

Book excerpt: "Kauffman has done something remarkable with The Gunners . . . She's made spending time with [her characters] not just tolerable but delightful. And she's achieved this not by manufacturing likability, but by so convincingly rendering the affection between them that you accept each character's foibles as readily as they do one another's . . . There's so much generosity and spirit and humor shared by whatever characters are on the page at any given time that I was always happy to accompany them." —The New York Times Book Review Following her wonderfully received first novel, Another Place You’ve Never Been, called “mesmerizing,” “powerful,” and “gorgeous,” by critics all over the country, Rebecca Kauffman returns with Mikey Callahan, a thirty–year–old who is suffering from the clouded vision of macular degeneration. He struggles to establish human connections—even his emotional life is a blur. As the novel begins, he is reconnecting with “The Gunners,” his group of childhood friends, after one of their members has committed suicide. Sally had distanced herself from all of them before ending her life, and she died harboring secrets about the group and its individuals. Mikey especially needs to confront dark secrets about his own past and his father. How much of this darkness accounts for the emotional stupor Mikey is suffering from as he reaches his maturity? And can The Gunners, prompted by Sally’s death, find their way to a new day? The core of this adventure, made by Mikey, Alice, Lynn, Jimmy, and Sam, becomes a search for the core of truth, friendship, and forgiveness. A quietly startling, beautiful book, The Gunners engages us with vividly unforgettable characters, and advances Rebecca Kauffman’s place as one of the most important young writers of her generation. "A moving novel . . . Each character comes to terms with their dark past, and uncertain futures—like an intimate hangout session, dashed with suspense and few extra layers of emotional beauty. You'll find yourself thinking of Freaks and Geeks, The Big Chill, and maybe all those friends you've been meaning to text." —Entertainment Weekly, The Must List

Normally sailors don't fight on the ground with the Marines, but once his landing craft is shot out from under him on the beach at Tarawa he has no choice. From that point forward Gunner is in the midst of one of the great blood-lettings in the Pacific war. And then...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gunner’s Island is a post-war novel that will engage dog lovers, military veterans, history enthusiasts, and undoubtedly anyone who is all three. Set in the small town on a tiny Canadian maritime island, the story unfolds with the return of World War II pilot Linus, following a plane crash that left him irrevocably altered. Linus is grappling with PTSD and acclimation back into civilian life, when he is mysteriously befriended by Gunner, a full grown and affable Newfoundland dog. With a wide array of detailed characters and scenes that jump between flashbacks and present life, Gunner’s Island is both a drama and comedy. It is earnest yet jocular, weighty yet wholesome, and meant to set sail the reader into the story as effortlessly as its northern ocean waves.
