Grace and Simon set out on an adventure of a lifetime, traveling overland through a part of the Middle East known as the hippie trail. Heading out of Istanbul, Grace is oblivious to the fact that Simon is smuggling a priceless relic in the belly of their 1968 Volkswagen camper. They hook up and convoy with an eclectic bunch of free spirits, including a British undercover Interpol officer whose attraction to Grace becomes problematic to his investigation. Moving further through exotic lands teeming with the remains of ancient civilizations, drug-generating poppy fields and threatening, proud tribesmen, the group encounters unique societies and experiences, while at the same time discovering each other. But things are not as they appear. What started for Grace as an innocuous, well-planned journey quickly changes into closely guarded secrets, deceit, and murder.

The Volga River is the heart of the Russian People and the last line of defense against the German invasion. The Russian Army is fighting desperately to defend against the German onslaught and to hold the last bridgeheads on the west bank of the Volga. But, help is coming. American personnel, supplies and equipment are pouring into Russia and at the head of the flood are the B-17 Flying Fortresses and P-47 Thunderbolts. Together the heavy bombers and their fighter escorts strike at targets deep in the heart of German-occupied Russia. As the great air battles take place, the Luftwaffe pilots realize that their days of air superiority and easy victories are over and they now face a fight just to survive. Meanwhile, as Russians and Americans fight side by side, what began as an uneasy alliance matures into a firm friendship.

A beautifully composed journey through music history! Music history is a required course for all music students. Unfortunately, the typical music history book is dry and academic, focusing on rote memorization of important composers and works. This leads many to think that the topic is boring, but bestselling author Michael Miller proves that isn’t so. This guide makes music history interesting and fun, for both music students and older music lovers. • Covers more than Western “classical” music—also includes non-Western music and uniquely American forms such as jazz • More than just names and dates—puts musical developments in context with key historical events
