Produktinformationen zu „Out of the Darkness (ePub)“
The exploration and settling of the Western frontier, the inflammatory but inspiring events of the Civil War, and the tragedy, drama, and victorious effort exemplified in World War II are the three focal points of this anthology. Several stories are loosely based on actual happenings: Home So Far Away, Amerikaner, and Lost.
Each story in varying ways focuses on and portrays the resiliency of the human spirit when individuals are confronted with life-threatening situations. It is our hope as readers that we can discover within ourselves traits that would inspire us to act heroically if thrust into similar circumstances. This focus is found in all stories but predominantly in the cornerstone title Out of the Darkness, a two-part WWII narrative whose main character, Niko, sets an example for us all.
The reader should know that every main protagonist in each story is based on real human beings that the author has interviewed and come to know as friends and subsequently deduced that these persons could in all likelihood do what their fictional characters achieved.

Autoren-Porträt von Albert Dawson
Al Dawson was born and raised in the historic Northern Neck of Virginia, thus began his strong interest in the events that formed the backbone of this country.Al completed high school as valedictorian of his class, received his bachelor's degree and Phi Beta Kappa honors from the University of Richmond, and his master's degree and PhD in Spanish from the University of Wisconsin. He returned to his alma mater in Richmond where he taught for thirty-four years. His wife and two children, now adults with families of their own, follow many of his main interests, primarily the vocation of teaching Spanish and Hispanic culture and also a consuming interest in global history.
After retirement, Al and his wife, Laila, moved to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado where his long-ingrained love for the rich history, legends, and lore of Western frontier existence-mining and ghost towns, cowboys, and native Americans-comes to life for him in his stories. However, he never forgets his Virginia roots-his grandma telling him stories about the Civil War and, as a six-year old, seeing his relatives in the variety of military uniforms returning home at the end of World War II.
