"...Imagines a horrifying scenario where, in the course of one day, the terrorist group ISIS carries out massacres in schools and on highways across the United States. With a surprisingly small but well-organized and ruthless force, the nightmarish devastation brings America to a state of near paralysis"--Page [4] of cover.

John Steinbeck wrote The Grapes of Wrath during an astonishing burst of activity between June and October of 1938. Throughout the time he was creating his greatest work, Steinbeck faithfully kept a journal revealing his arduous journey toward its completion. The journal, like the novel it chronicles, tells a tale of dramatic proportions—of dogged determination and inspiration, yet also of paranoia, self-doubt, and obstacles. It records in intimate detail the conception and genesis of The Grapes of Wrath and its huge though controversial success. It is a unique and penetrating portrait of an emblematic American writer creating an essential American masterpiece.

High in the treacherous passes between France and Spain in 778 A.D., Roland, captain of Charlemagne's conquering army, catapults his outnumbered flank of loyal vassals into a struggle so desperate and bloody that its dead -- and their deeds -- would be exalted for a thousand years in the most famous French medieval epic, the Song of Roland. Roland's bitter sacrifice, the apocalyptic battle-storm and Charlemagne's legendary grief, comes to life, as never before, in a graphic retelling that blends the beauty of oral poetry with the power of narrative art.
