"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.

 

We have what we believe to be the world's best trained and

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.
