Dear Book  Lovers,

 

 

OK!  Pour yourself a glass of sherry and fall into your favorite overstuffed sofa.

 

 

We are nearing the 100th anniversary of the onset of World War One and you need to be brought up to speed again. To show off your knowledge of the Great War, it’s time to renew your acquaintance with Tsar Nicholas II, King George V, Emperor Franz Josef, and Kaiser Wilhelm II. You have probably struggled through “War and Peace” by Tolstoy. My novel spans 100 years and brings readers into the 20th Century.

 

Fortunately, my book provides you with a host of sentiments from rage to tears. Sadly, our ancestors suffered terribly during the four year war. Oh, there is plenty of passion, laughter and idiocy to make your reading evenings most pleasant. As a counseling psychologist, I have used the technique of “reading between the lines.” Truth comes in many forms.

 

Be the first on your block to speak a bit of French, German, Russian, and Dutch. So clean your eye glasses and get to reading!

 

My novel is titled “In the Service of God and Evil; a Psychological Study of the Rise and Fall of Kaiser Wilhelm II.” The topic has NEVER BEEN DETAILED before in book form. It is listed with Amazon and Barnes & Noble books. Search under books: Donald Britton Conrad. You have a choice of Nook or Kindle or the two volume novel.

 

Happy reading! And watch the Sherry!
