O Laughing River will appeal to all military buffs, as well as those interested in the American Civil War. It recounts the life of «Stonewall» Jackson, a charismatic leader of genius, who led his troops against the Yankees with assurance, courage and success. He had that same gift of the «common touch» as other inspirational leaders such as Lincoln and JFK, Nelson and Princess Diana. Virtually worshipped by those he led, the mere appearance of «Old Jack» would be enough to rouse the renowned «Rebel Yell». He had immense powers of concentration and was, at all times, totally focused on his objectives. He died aged thirty-nine, accidentally wounded by his own troops, but such was the appeal of the leader and the man, that the whole South mourned, and he was praised even by the Northern enemy.

O Laughing River

This fascinating account, envisages as a virtual film, Alexander the Great&apos;s early life tracing events from his birth, through to his boyhood and thence to the brink of manhood. He inherited his father Philip&apos;s military brilliance and his mother&apos;s beauty and passion, and cunning aptitude for manipulating his contemporaries into performing his bidding. It gives the reader an engrossing insight into what life was like two thousand four hundred years ago.
The beliefs and achievements of Alexander the Great are more relevant to our overcrowded and stressed world of today than at any time since he died. Alexander believed in the essential brotherhood of human beings; that we are divided only by our culture. This belief would stand us all in good stead in solving the problems of today&apos;s world.
