› Find signed collectible books: 'The Last Citadel'Book summary:One nation taking a desperate gamble of war.
Another fighting for survival.
Two armies locked in a bloody cataclysm that will decide history. . .
David L. Robbins has won widespread acclaim for his powerful and splendidly researched novels of World War II. Now he casts his brilliant vision on one of the most terrifying--and most crucial--battles of the war: the Battle of Kursk, Hitlers desperate gamble to defeat Russia, in the final German offensive on the eastern front.
Last Citadel
Spring 1943. In the west, Germany strengthens its choke hold on France. To the south, an Allied invasion looms imminent. But the greatest threat to Hitlers dream of a Thousand Year Reich lies east, where his forces are pitted in a death match with a Russian enemy willing to pay any price to defend the motherland. Hitler rolls the dice, hurling his best SS forces and his fearsome new weapon, the Mark VI Tiger tank, in a last-ditch summer offensive, code-named Citadel.
The Red Army around Kursk is a sprawling array of infantry, armor, fighter planes, and bombers. Among them is an intrepid group of women flying antiquated biplanes; they swoop over the Germans in the dark, earning their nickname, Night Witches. On the ground, Private Dimitri Berko gallops his tank, the Red Armys lithe little T-34, like a Cossack steed. In the turret above Dimitri rides his son, Valya, a Communist sergeant who issues his father orders while the war widens the gulf between them. In the skies, Dimitris daughter, Katya, flies with the Night Witches, until she joins a ferocious band of partisans in the forests around Kursk. Like Russia itself, the Berko family is suffering the fury and devastation of historys most titanic tank battle while fighting to preserve what is sacredtheir land, their lives, and each otheras Hitler flings against them his most potent armed force.
Inexorable and devastating, a company of Mark VI Tiger tanks is commanded by one extraordinary SS officer, a Spaniard known as la Daga, the Dagger. Hed suffered a terrible wound at the hands of the Russians: now he has returned with a cold fury to exact his revenge. And above it all, one quiet man makes his own plan to bring Citadel crashing down and reshape the fate of the world.
A remarkable story of men and arms, loyalty and betrayal, Last Citadel propels us into the claustrophobic confines of a tank in combat, into the tension of guerrilla tactics, and across the smoking charnel of one of historys greatest battlefields. Panoramic, authentic, and unforgettable, it reverberates long after the last cannon sounds.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Liberation Road: A Novel Of World War II And The Red Ball Express'Book summary:With his acclaimed novels of World War II, David L. Robbins awakened a generation to the drama, tragedy, and heroism of some of historys greatest battles. Now he delivers a gripping and authentic story set against one of our greatest wartime achievements: the Red Ball Express, six thousand trucks and twenty-three thousand menmost of them African-Americanwho forged a lifeline of supplies in the Allied struggle to liberate France.
June 1944. The Allies deliver a staggering blow to Hitlers Atlantic fortress, leaving the beaches and bluffs of Normandy strewn with corpses. The Germans have only one chance to stop the immense invasionby bottling up the Americans on the Cotentin Peninsula. There, in fields crisscrossed with dense hedgerows, many will meet their death while others will search for signs of life. Among the latter are two very different men, each with his own demons to fight and his own reasons to risk his life for his fellow man.
Joe Amos Biggs is an invisible colored driver in the Red Ball Express, the unheralded convoy of trucks that serves as a precious lifeline to the front. Delivering fuel and ammunition to men whose survival depends on the truckers, Joe Amos finds himself hungering to make his mark and propelled into battle among those who dont see him as an equalbut will need him to be a hero.
A chaplain in the demoralized 90th Infantry, Rabbi Ben Kahn is a veteran of the first great war and old enough to be the father of the GIs he tends. Searching for the truth about his own son, a downed pilot missing in action, Kahn finds himself dueling with God, wading into combat without a gun, and becoming a leader among men in need of someoneanyoneto follow.
The prize: the liberation of Paris, where a ruthless American traitor known as Chien BlancWhite Doggrows fat and rich in the black market. Whatever the occupied citys destiny, destroyed or freed, he will win.
The fates of these three men will collide, hurtling toward an uncommon destiny in which people commit deeds they cannot foresee and can never truly explain.
From the screams of German .88 howitzers to the last whispers of dying young soldiers, Robbins captures war in all its awful fullness. And through the eyes of his unique characters, he leaves us with a mature, brilliant, and memorable vision of humanity in the face of inhumanity itself.

With each stay inside Ellen, Beatrice draws Virgil closer to her, for her spirit seems to embody the very warmth and energy that his marriage is missing.Beatrice,too, grows closer to Virgil and, to make up for the love she'd been denied during her lifetime, sets her sights on winning him for her own.
But if Beatrice wins, Ellen loses her body.
At first, Ellen thinks she's merely losing her mind, until she discovers the impossible truth about Beatrice.
As stubborn and possessive as her counterpart, Ellen is determined to do whatever she needs to keep her body and soul together and win back her husband.But this battle of wills takes an unexpected turn when Ellen and Beatrice begin to learn some hidden truths about themselves and each other -- insights that will heal and complete them both, and gradually transform their initial animosity into a grudging mutual respect.
But what about Virgil?What does he want?Though he still loves Ellen, he is beginning to fall for Beatrice.Soon Virgil finds himself cheating on his wife... with his wife.
