Reviews

A beautifully told story with colorful characters out of epic tradition, a tight and complex plot, and solid pacing. -- Booklist, starred review of On the Razor's Edge

Great writing, vivid scenarios, and thoughtful commentary ... the stories will linger after the last page is turned. -- Publisher's Weekly, on Captive Dreams

about this recording of Radetsky Marsch in Wien is how well Germans take direction.  Watch the audience.



Radetsky.  The only Austrian general to have actually won a battle with an army known for winning a prize for snazziest uniforms.
