Crooke, Jr. On his third combat mission over Germany as a B-17 Navigator the formation of bombers exploded sending four of the air crewmen to their deaths. The author and four other air crewmen parachuted to quick captivity some 20 miles from Berlin. J. Earle Bowden, Editor Emeritus The Pensacola News Journal in his column January 27, 2007 succinctly describes the author's first book: His lean narrative provides the mirror through which we see the many whose youth was cut short and their war transformed to cruel isolation, while others fought to liberate Europe.

The amazing tale of how a pack of wild Chihuahuas helped win the Mexican Revolution This daring adventure will give readers of all ages a view into the plucky tenacity of the mighty dogs who helped Pancho Villa and the Mexican people triumph. Suddenly, the fur on Lola's back stood straight up. We must find Pancho Villa, she barked. What? What are you saying? The eight dogs in Lola's pack began to yap and yammer. If Pancho Villa is in trouble, we should try to help, she said. And maybe, just maybe, Pancho Villa can help the Chihuahuas. Why should we help him? said Joaquin with an angry snarl, his mean eyes glaring. This is the craziest talk I've ever heard. I'm the leader now, remember? He roughly commanded the other dogs: Let's get out of here. As Lola watched them trot off, she felt desperate to keep hold of her pack, the only survivors of the more than one hundred desert dogs that ran strong when her father, the legendary Cuauht moc, led them. Lola made a big decision. She would unite her tired, hungry, and dirty dogs on a journey to find Pancho Villa, the great revolutionary leader. Riveting and highly entertaining, 'The Wild Chihuahuas of Mexico' will remind kids everywhere to never give up, even when things get tough.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In September 1532, eleven years after the Spanish conquest, Mexico is in meltdown. As the conquistadors discover an earthly paradise, its peoples and their Gods are destroyed. This is a time of greed, uncertainty - and idealism. Despairing at his surroundings, Vasco de Quiroga - a new member of the Spanish ruling council - forges a commune on Mexico City's outskirts. Indigenous peoples flock there, and soon a new society exists, complete with a welfare system and a hospital.

As Toby Green researches Quiroga's biography in Spain and Mexico, he begins to sense an eerie resonance between Quiroga's age and our own. Based on archival research, and rich with vivid reconstructions of 16th-century Spain and Mexico, the narrative becomes a biography not only of Quiroga, but also of utopia as both an idea and a literary form.…
