Memoirs of a Cossack Warriors - by D W Roth (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

This novel is based on a true story about Lambert Roth, and his two brothers, Xavier and Michael. They immigrated from Germany to Russia in the 19th century in an effort to avoid a revolution. Their father obtained a homestead in Russia which was free to immigrant German farmers in an effort to help feed the starving Russian populace at that time. The Russian Military quickly kidnapped the three brothers at gunpoint and forced them to fight in the notorious Russian Cossacks. They were trained to kill or be killed and lived and died by the creed. They were subjected to endless bloody battles over the next six years, narrowly escaping death on a daily basis. They continued to protest to the Russian authorities about their illegal abduction, and finally they were given their releases and visas to America and Spain. The family continued their saga of love and life and were constantly blessed by God.

D. W. Roth is a retired Disabled American Veteran, living in San Jose, California. He has written and published many poems and song lyrics along with his national, typo-ten award winning short story: You Are The Father Of, which he originally wrote while in combat in Korea in 1953. Mr. Roth is a first time novelist. He was taught Russian History while being raised by his Grandfather, Lambert Roth, who had been a school teacher in Russia in the 1980's and eventually became a veteran Russian Cossack Warrior of many conflicts. Together, some years later, they translated Lamberts' memoirs into English and wrote the outline for the Future Novel: Memoirs of a Cossack Warrior.
