A harrowing portrait of a largely forgotten campaign that pushed one battalion to the limits of human suffering. Despite their lack of jungle training, the 32nd Division’s “Ghost Mountain Boys” were assigned the most grueling mission of the entire Pacific campaign in World War II: to march over the 10,000-foot Owen Stanley Mountains to protect the right flank of the Australian army during the battle for New Guinea. Reminiscent of the classics like Band of Brothers and The Things They Carried, The Ghost Mountain Boys is part war diary, part extreme-adventure tale, and—through letters, journals, and interviews—part biography of a group of men who fought to survive in an environment every bit as fierce as the enemy they faced. Theirs is one of the great untold stories of the war. “Superb.” —Chicago Sun-Times “Campbell started out with history, but in the end he has written a tale of survival and courage of near-mythic proportions.” —America in WWII magazine “In this compelling and sprightly written account, Campbell shines a long-overdue light on the equally deserving heroes of the Red Arrow Division.” —Military.com

Robert Freese was twenty-five when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. A month later, he was drafted. Following a few months of training in the States, Robert shipped out to Australia with the 32nd Infantry Division, the first US Army unit to take the fight to the Japanese. After playing baseball for the division and training for battle, Robert was transported north to New Guinea with the rest of the 32nd Infantry Division. In November 1942, after enduring a grueling two month journey through an unforgiving jungle environment just to get into position to attack, MacArthur's forces engaged the Japanese at the Battle of Buna, now known as Bloody Buna. Robert was in the thick of the action, as the mission of his regiment was to take the two Japanese airfields central to the whole operation. The title Baseball, Battle, and a Bride: (An Okie in World War II) comes from Robert's quest to play professional baseball before World War II and his place on the 32nd Infantry Division's team, his role in the Battle of Buna and two amphibious operations, and his romance of Leona Nievar, which resulted in their wedding in November 1944 and, to date, sixty-five years of marriage.

The Hummingbird Theory is a journey into the heart of the Cumberland Mountains in a region of Virginia known to the world as Appalachia. The enormous natural beauty of the Cumberlands is woven into each venue throughout The Hummingbird Theory; however, it is the colorful cast of characters that give glimpses into the cultural diversity of this unique region. The characters bring to life the close-knit mountain communities that share pride in their heritage, and they provide a look into the fascinating history of an area that once thrived because of rich deposits of coal. The Hummingbird Theory is much more than a story of life in a small mountain town, it is a story about the choices we make in life and the paths those choices set us on. It explores the spiritual nature of our human experience and the spiritual energy that defines who we are. As the story weaves its way through the small mountain community of Crayton’s Crossing, there are mysteries to be solved and messages to be gleaned from the lives of the unlikely band of homegrown characters. One such message is for those living life according to The Hummingbird Theory.
