Quote by Donna Fletcher Crow

“Experience a gripping period in French history through the first-person experiences of one young Huguenot boy. Vince Rockston has poured the full range of human emotions into Gédéon’s story and carries the reader with him on the tidal wave of historic events following King Louis XIV’s revocation of religious freedom. The author’s comprehensive research on both sides of the English Channel propels Gédéon’s actions and gives authenticity to the story. The book includes extremely helpful maps and lists of some fifty historical characters – including the mysterious Suzon. A powerful coming-of-age novel.”

“For a quarter-century British governments had tried and failed to combine economic growth, increased social service provision and a high level of employment. The second depended ultimately on the first, but when difficulty arose, the first had always been sacrificed to the other two. The United Kingdom was, after all, a democracy whose votes, greedy and gullible, had to be placated.”

“Increasingly economic historians can draw analogies between the development of the present crisis and the period between the two world wars, as well as the crisis of a century ago, which was associated with the so-called great depression of 1873-1895. The latter crisis resulted in the rise of monopoly capitalism and imperialism, but also the end of Pax Britannica, as Britain began its decline from world leadership in the face of challenges from Germany and the United States. The present world crisis seems to be spelling the beginning of the end of Pax Americana and may hold untold other major readjustments in the international division of labor and world power in store for the future.”
