The Price For Glory

The battle of Verdun lasted ten months. It was a battle in which at least 700,000 men fell, along a front of fifteen miles. Its aim was less to defeat the enemy than bleed him to death and a battleground whose once fertile terrain is even now a haunted wilderness. Alistair Horne's classic work, continuously in print for over fifty years, is a profoundly moving, sympathetic study of the battle and the men who fought there. It shows that Verdun is a key to understanding the First World War to the minds of those who waged it, the traditions that bound them and the world that gave them the opportunity.

(From the Foreword) The Price of Glory is an autobiography of my twenty-three-plus years in the Army Air Corps and the Air Force. I have tried to show the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of military life as an enlisted man and as an officer.

What would you give for the chance to live forever? According to the Bible, you will live forever, either in heaven, or in hell. The choice is strictly yours to make. An eternal life of sorrows and death, or an eternal life of joy and happiness, you make the choice. This book gives scriptural grounds for believing in an eternal existence in which we all will be aware of our environment and its comforts and joys, or its sorrow and suffering. This book scripturally explains how valuable you are to God, and the extreme measures He has taken so that you could spend eternity with Him in heaven. It also explains exactly what you must do to claim this wonderful salvation He has purchased for you that is more precious than silver or gold and precious stones.
