"THE CLIFFS OF LEAVENWORTH" A THOUGHT PROVOKING NOVEL DEDICATED TO OUR CITIZEN SOLDIERS
This novel, "THE CLIFFS OF LEAVENWORTH", is dedicated to all those who answer their country's call in the time of need. Aside from our fulltime military forces, we far too often tend to forget our Citizen Soldiers. I refer to the faithful and loyal members of our National Guard and Reserve groups. Without them and their forerunners, the Militia and Home Guard, our country would very probably not exist.
best equipped military forces. More and more, our National Guard and Reserve units are being called on to help fight our country's battles. It was recently reported that at least 40% of our combat forces are either National Guard or Reserve forces. It is not uncommon for them to serve two or three tours of duty in hostile territory. They most surely are doing their part.
What concerns me and many others is the question that when too many of our National Guard and Reserve units are activated and sent far away, who will take their place in time of dire need? This is something worth thinking about most seriously. Who would guard the home front?
"THE CLIFFS OF LEAVENWORTH", is a civil war novel, but there are many parallels to events of today. This is intended. The author uses the past as a tool to shed light on the issues and concerns of today. Some things never change, and the need for adequate military preparedness tops the list of vital issues. Even though the novel is a civil war story, it promotes the practicality of having a Reserve for the Reserves, I.E., at least some sort of organized backup group to fill the gap in a time of need. In today's troubled world this need has never been more obvious. A `belt and suspenders' approach to the defense of our country is an old idea whose time has come. If the Peace Corps is a good idea, then so is the idea of creating `Reserves for the Reserves'.
Another major point in the novel is that contrary to popular belief, everyone does not necessarily need to be young or in top physical condition to be of service to their country when needed. When willing people in the proper spirit band together, much can be accomplished.
