The Cliffs of Leavenworth (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781412074902)

The novel, "THE CLIFFS OF LEAVENWORTH", by William James Hubler Jr., is a very unique Civil War story with many parallels to current times. In the story, those in charge seen the need for a group of "Citizen Soldiers" to be organized to guard the home front should the Militia or Home Guard be deployed elsewhere, I.E. a "Reserve For The Reserves". A "Home Guard Reserve" unit was organized, comprised for the most part by those who would be deemed as "unfit for military service". Yet, this small group of misfit Citizen Soldiers stood their ground and served well. In the world of today, we are sending our Citizen Soldiers far away for long periods, with no provision for replacement while they are gone. This novel should be "required reading" for all our leaders.
