History has always been a fascinating subject for Jim and World War II intensified that interest. As a teenager growing up during this global conflict, he recalls how it seemed to dominate every aspect of daily life. Jim kept daily scrapbooks of every report from Europe, as his uncle was serving with the 1st Army, and read his letters many times. Jim recalls how he was a hero to the family and upon his safe return spoke with admiration for the German soldier. Jim wrote this book in an effort to tell the story of one such German soldier, Generaloberst Heinz Guderian who experienced a major role in a unique position of leadership, during this cataclysmal upheaval of global civilization. Guderian embodied the dramatic change in mechanized warfare that became known as the Blitzkreig. He developed his Panzers with such immense firepower, mobility and speed, that it revolutionized the concepts of military tactics. His violent confrontations with Hitler in an attempt to divert him to more reasonable decisions put his own life in jeopardy. It may have been an impossible task to change the course of Hitlers destiny and the direction of history, but it was not for lack of trying that he failed.

The Trochilus Bird

And Other Poems, Limericks and Reflections

By: James E. Tague

The Trochilus Bird is a collection of Poetry, with Limericks and reflections added by the author. These works were accumulated over many years and originally intended as a hobby. Since they do capture the authors range of emotions, experienced over so many years, his family insisted he remove them from the dark recesses of file cabinets and place the entire collection under the glare of publication. As the author has stated, At least they are published, candidates for survival and not lurking in sad typescript.

Essays from the Past

By: James E. Tague

These essays were written more than twenty-five years ago for different newspapers. They contain thoughts on various subjects prevalent at the time, and were printed as opinion articles. Their relevancy remains so intact today that Jim decided to collect them from various files and republish them as a book. Most were printed in a local newspaper, the News of Delaware County where he had an opinion column, and then reprinted in other papers. As mentioned in the preface, his concerns about the steady erosion of the values and principles he once knew, have continued unabated to this day.

The Crocodile Bird

By: James E Tague

These pieces are offered as works composed over many years, by a writer who shares the view of the late, brilliant Hilary Corke, that ones style has shown progression if not a progress. At least they are published, collected from forgotten files, and as Corke so aptly phrased it, candidates for survival rather than lurking in sad typescript awaiting public birth. Certainly they are creations set in time and it is over time that they will be remembered or forgotten, since time is the only judge to render a final verdict. Since a poem is rarely finished to the full satisfaction of its author, it reaches a stage where it is merely abandoned. Hopefully it has found completion to the extent, so properly defined by Robert Frost, where the emotion has found its thought and the thought has found the words. JET

Limericks

By: James E. Tague

Written over many years and enjoyed by family and friends, Jim has decided to publish these limericks for his eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. As Jim has stated, A limerick is to me a form of poetry, moving to a natural rhythm within a precise framework. It starts with observing a person, place, or event then reaching a conclusion. Tied together with clever rhymes and wrapped in a sense of humor, limericks provide a writer with a challenge to organize facts, manipulate words, and provide the wit to give insight and meaning to what is often mundane.
